Description
Overview of the medicine
Lumilast-03 Cream contains Fluocinolone Acetonide, a potent corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with various skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply a thin film to the affected skin area two to three times daily, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
No specific dose adjustment required; use with caution.
Renal_impairment
No specific dose adjustment required for topical use, as systemic absorption is minimal.
How to Take
For external use only. Apply thinly to affected areas. Do not cover with occlusive dressings unless advised by a doctor. Wash hands before and after application.
Mechanism of Action
Fluocinolone Acetonide is a corticosteroid that acts as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agent. It works by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators, stabilizing lysosomal membranes, and decreasing the permeability of capillaries.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Within hours to days of application.
Excretion
Excreted primarily through the kidneys, with some biliary excretion.
Half life
Systemic half-life is approximately 18 hours, but topical effects are localized.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption through intact skin; absorption increases with occlusive dressings or damaged skin.
Metabolism
Primarily metabolized in the liver to inactive metabolites.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to Fluocinolone Acetonide or any component of the cream
- •Bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infections (untreated)
- •Rosacea
- •Perioral dermatitis
- •Acne vulgaris
Drug Interactions
None significant for topical use
Due to minimal systemic absorption, significant drug interactions are unlikely with topical Fluocinolone Acetonide.
Storage
Store below 30°C, away from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Acute overdose is unlikely with topical application. Chronic overdose may lead to Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria, especially with extensive use or occlusive dressings. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Use in pregnancy only if clearly needed and the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Consult a doctor. Use with caution during lactation; avoid application on the breast area if breastfeeding.
