Generic name: fluocinolone acetonide 0.25mg in 1g
Dosage form: cream
Drug class: Topical steroids
Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Last updated on Jul 18, 2024.
SYNALAR® Cream is generally applied to the affected area as a thin film from two to four times daily depending on the severity of the condition. In hairy sites, the hair should be parted to allow direct contact with the lesion.
Occlusive dressing may be used for the management of psoriasis or recalcitrant conditions. Some plastic films may be flammable and due care should be exercised in their use. Similarly, caution should be employed when such films are used on children or left in their proximity, to avoid the possibility of accidental suffocation.
If an infection develops, the use of the occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate antimicrobial therapy instituted.
