In addition, it has a direct vasoconstrictor effect, due to which it reduces the severity of exudative phenomena. According to reviews, Flucinar has a pronounced antiallergic effect, which consists in reducing the severity of local hypersensitivity reactions.
The absorption of the drug is much faster and better if it is applied to damaged skin areas, to anatomical folds or to the face, and is fixed with a bandage.
