Fluprednidene acetate (trade name Decoderm among others) is a moderately potent glucocorticoid used in form of a cream to treat skin inflammations such as atopic dermatitis and contact dermatitis.[1][2]

Contraindications

Similar to other corticoids, fluprednidene acetate is contraindicated in skin conditions that are caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses, including acne, syphilis, tuberculosis, as well as in rosacea and in children under two years of age. Insufficient data are available to judge safety during pregnancy and lactation.[1]

Side effects

Side effects are rare and include typical corticoid reactions such as

Hypersensitivity reactions have also been described.[1]

Pharmacology

Under open treatment, little substance reaches the circulation, and the body's own blood corticoid (cortisol) levels are not influenced. Under occlusive therapy, cortisol levels can be decreased because of a feedback reaction via the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis. This reaction is however not clinically significant.[1]
