Flucort Forte Lotion 15 ml

Flucort Forte Lotion belongs to the class of medications called Corticosteroids. It is used to treat itching and inflammation caused by skin conditions that respond to topical corticosteroids (corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses), such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.

Flucort Forte Lotion contains ‘fluocinolone acetonide’, which belongs to the class of ‘corticosteroids’. It reduces the release of inflammatory mediators (chemicals that cause inflammation). It causes constriction of blood vessels, decreasing the access of cells to the injury site. This effect helps reduce swelling, pain, itching, and discomfort.

The common side effects of Flucort Forte Lotion are burning, itching, irritation or dryness of the skin, pimples, a change in skin colour, small white or red bumps on the skin, and tiny red bumps or rash around the mouth.
