About Flucort Forte Lotion
Flucort Forte Lotion 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 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.
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. Most of these side effects of Flucort Forte Lotion do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
Do not use Flucort Forte Lotion if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Before using Flucort Forte Lotion, inform your doctor if you have any skin infection, a history of reaction to any steroid, liver disease, or an adrenal gland disorder. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Flucort Forte Lotion.
