About Amcinonide

What is this medication?

Amcinonide is a high-potency topical corticosteroid medication primarily used to treat various inflammatory skin conditions. It is effective in reducing symptoms such as redness, swelling, and severe itching that often accompany conditions like plaque psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and allergic contact dermatitis. By suppressing the immune system localized inflammatory response, it provides relief for skin that has become irritated or inflamed due to chronic or acute triggers. This medication is typically reserved for cases that require more intensive treatment than over-the-counter options can provide.

The medication functions by preventing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. It is generally applied directly to the skin in the form of a cream, ointment, or lotion as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Because of its high potency, it is often recommended for short-term use to minimize the risk of side effects like skin thinning or irritation. Users should follow medical advice regarding where to apply the product, usually avoiding sensitive areas such as the face or underarms unless a doctor specifically authorizes its use there.

Indications and usage
INDICATIONS AND USAGE: Topical corticosteroids are indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
Dosage and administration
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Topical corticosteroids are generally applied to the affected area as a thin film from two to three times daily depending on the severity of the condition. Occlusive dressings may be a valuable therapeutic adjunct for the management of psoriasis or recalcitrant conditions. If an infection develops, the use of occlusive dressings should be discontinued and appropriate antimicrobial therapy instituted.
Contraindications
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation.
Adverse reactions
ADVERSE REACTIONS: The following local adverse reactions are reported infrequently with topical corticosteroids, but may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings. These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the skin, secondary infection, skin atrophy, striae and miliaria. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Pharm-Olam at 1-866-511-6754 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
