What is Fluocinolone Acetonide?
Fluocinolone Acetonide is a prescription topical steroid that relieves skin, eye, and ear inflammations. As a topical cream or oil, Fluocinolone Acetonide relieves itching, swelling, and redness due to eczema, psoriasis, or allergies on the skin. As ear drops, Fluocinolone Acetonide relieves the itchiness, redness, and discomfort of eczema in the outer ear. As eye drops, Fluocinolone Acetonide treats swelling in the eye.
Steroids that reduce swelling are called corticosteroids. They work by preventing the body from producing chemicals that cause swelling, as well as blocking the immune response to an irritation and constricting blood vessels, which reduces blood flow to the swollen area. The cumulative result is to reduce swelling and any effects the swelling might have.
What are the side effects of Fluocinolone Acetonide?
Most side effects of Fluocinolone Acetonide occur on the surface where it has been applied and will depend on whether Fluocinolone Acetonide is applied to the skin, ear, or eye. Common site reactions include stinging, burning, irritation, rash, “hair bumps,” hives, blurred vision (if applied to the eyes), stretch marks, and pimples.
Topical steroids can be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, so side effects may occur throughout the body, such as blurred vision, dizziness, fast heartbeat, swelling, and weight gain. Fluocinolone Acetonide, when absorbed into the body, can also cause irritability.
Allergic reactions are rare, but you should discontinue Fluocinolone Acetonide if you notice a rash, hives, swelling, or any other sign of an allergic reaction.
