Characteristics of Alclometasone

Alclometasone dipropionate is a white powder, insoluble in water, slightly soluble in propylene glycol, sparingly soluble in hexylene glycol.

Pharmacology

Pharmacological action - anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antipruritic, antiproliferative, antipsoriatic, glucocorticoid.

It induces the formation of lipocortins that inhibit the activity of phospholipase A2, inhibits the synthesis of arachidonic acid, PG and LT, reduces the release of cytokines from lymphocytes, inhibits the release of other inflammatory mediators, incl. Histamine from sensitized mast cells and basophils.

Changes the structure of tissue and cell membranes and reduces their permeability, inhibits the migration of macrophages and sensitized T-lymphocytes into the inflammatory focus. Has vasoconstrictive properties. Reduces the severity of the inflammatory process in the skin, eliminates itching and pain. The antiproliferative effect is manifested in the reduction of the surface of hyperplastic tissues.

In animal studies, no carcinogenic effects and effects on fertility have been identified. In tests in vivo and in vitro showed no mutagenic properties.

When applied to the intact skin, about 3% of the alklomethasone dipropionate is absorbed into the systemic blood stream within 8 hours. Inflammation, disruption of the integrity of the skin or occlusive dressing increases percutaneous absorption. Biotransformed mainly in the liver, is excreted in the form of metabolites, mainly with urine, to a lesser extent - with bile.

Application of Alclometasone

Dermatitis (atopic, contact, etc.) when the process is localized in sensitive areas (face, skin folds) or in people with sensitive skin (children over 1 year old and patients of old age), psoriasis, urticaria, skin itching in allergic diseases.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity, skin tuberculosis, chicken pox, perioral dermatitis, rosacea, complications after vaccination, age up to 1 year.

pregnancy and lactation

Perhaps (for a short time and on small surfaces), if the expected effect of therapy exceeds the potential risk to the fetus.

The action category for fetus by FDA is C.

Special care should be taken when using in nursing mothers, incl. Do not apply to the skin of the breast before feeding.

Side effects

Rarely (1-2% of cases, mainly with the use of an occlusive dressing) - burning, itching, redness, irritation and dry skin, acne vulgaris; very rarely - acne, hypopigmentation, sweating, folliculitis, striae, atrophy of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, hypertrichosis, allergic contact dermatitis, secondary skin infections; in isolated cases (with prolonged use and / or application to large areas) - the development of systemic side effects (suppression and insufficiency of the function of the adrenal cortex).

Overdose

Symptoms: hyperglycemia, glycosuria, oppression of adrenal cortex function, growth retardation, Itenko - Cushing syndrome.

Treatment: withdrawal of the drug, symptomatic therapy.

Routes of administration

Locally.

Precautions for Alclometasone

It should not be used for a long time on large areas of the skin and use occlusive dressings, tk. possibly increased resorption and systemic side effects (in infants, skin folds and diapers can mimic the effect of an occlusive dressing). In childhood and in violations of liver function, it is necessary to periodically test for the presence of free cortisone in the urine and the stimulation test ACTH. Do not apply on eyes or skin in close proximity to them (provokes the development of glaucoma and cataracts). In the event of a secondary bacterial or fungal infection, antimicrobial agents are prescribed and decide whether to abolish therapy
