Pharmacodynamics

Methylprednisolone aceponate is a non-halogenated synthetic steroid that, when applied externally, has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects, and also suppresses reactions associated with increased proliferation, reducing the symptoms of inflammation.

Pharmacokinetics
Methylprednisolone aceponate, when applied topically, is hydrolyzed in the epidermis and dermis. The main metabolite of the substance, 6α-methylprednisolone-17-propionate, has an affinity for the glucocorticosteroid receptors of the skin.
Absorption of the drug when applied topically in healthy people is 0.5-1.5%, in patients with psoriasis and atopic dermatitis - no more than 2.5%.
When it enters the systemic circulation, the active metabolite of methylprednisolone aceponate is inactivated by conjugating with glucuronic acid.
