VA Class:DE200
ATC Class:D07AB
Flurandrenolide is a synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid.
Flurandrenolide shares the actions of the other topical corticosteroids and is used for the relief of the inflammatory manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
Topical preparations of flurandrenolide are applied sparingly in thin films and are rubbed gently into the affected area 2 or 3 times daily. Occlusive dressings may be used for severe or resistant dermatoses. The topical dressing (tape) is generally applied as an occlusive dressing to clean, dry affected areas every 12 hours.
Flurandrenolide is a synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid. The drug occurs as a white to off-white, fluffy, crystalline powder and is practically insoluble in water and sparingly soluble in alcohol.
Flurandrenolide cream, lotion, and ointment should be protected from light and stored in tight containers at a temperature less than 40°C, preferably between 15-30°C; freezing should be avoided. Flurandrenolide tape should be stored at 15-30°C.
