Fluocinonide is a potent glucocorticoid used topically as an anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of skin disorders such as eczema and seborrhoeic dermatitis.[3] It relieves itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation, and discomfort.[3]
A common potential adverse effect is skin atrophy (thinning of the skin).[4]
In 2021, it was the 249th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 1 million prescriptions.[5][6]
Veterinary uses
[edit]Fluocinonide is used in veterinary medicine. It is a treatment for allergies in dogs.[7] Natural systemic cortisol concentrations can be suppressed for weeks after one week of topical exposure.[8]
