This Fact Sheet Provides Information to Patients with Eczema and Their Carers. About Topical Corticosteroids How to Apply Topic
This fact sheet provides information to patients with eczema and their carers. About topical corticosteroids You or your child’s doctor has prescribed a topical corticosteroid for the treatment of eczema. For treating eczema, corticosteroids are usually prepared in a cream or ointment and are applied topically (directly onto the skin). Topical corticosteroids work by reducing inflammation and helping to control an over-reactive response of the immune system at the site of eczema. They also tighten blood vessels, making less blood flow to the surface of the skin. Together, these effects help to manage the symptoms of eczema. There is a range of steroids that can be used to treat eczema, each with different strengths (potencies). On the next page, the potencies of some common steroids are shown, as well as the concentration that they are usually used in cream or ointment preparations. Using a moisturiser along with a steroid cream does not reduce the effect of the steroid. There are many misconceptions about the side effects of topical corticosteroids. However these treatments are very safe and patients are encouraged to follow the treatment regimen as advised by their doctor. How to apply topical corticosteroids How often should I apply? How much should I apply? Apply 1–2 times each day to the affected area Enough cream should be used so that the of skin according to your doctor’s instructions. entire affected area is covered. The cream can then be rubbed or massaged into the Once the steroid cream has been applied, inflamed skin. moisturisers can be used straight away if needed. -

Keywords: betamethasone valerate • foam • psoriasis • topical corticosteroids Topical corticosteroids have been ranked in four groups consisting of seven classes ranging from ultra-high potency preparations (class 1) to low-potency prepara- tions (class 7). Betamethasone valerate (BMV) is a mid-potency corticosteroid (class 3–5, depending on the dosage form), used topically to relieve inflammatory skin conditions. It is used as a treatment for psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and other corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. The vehicle used to deliver topical drugs can influence the performance of these drugs. -

Fluorometholone Ophthalmic Suspension 0.1% W/V Corticosteroid Anti-Inflammatory
PRODUCT MONOGRAPH PrFML® Fluorometholone Ophthalmic Suspension 0.1% w/v Corticosteroid Anti-Inflammatory Allergan Inc. Date of Preparation: Markham, ON October 30, 1972 L6G 0B5 Date of Revision: May 2, 2018 Submission Control No: 214474 Page 1 of 12 NAME OF DRUG Pr ® FML Fluorometholone Ophthalmic Suspension 0.1% w/v THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION Topical corticosteroid ACTIONS Corticosteroids inhibit the inflammatory response to a variety of inciting agents of a mechanical, chemical and immunological nature. They inhibit edema, fibrin deposition, capillary dilation, leukocyte migration, phagocytic activity, capillary proliferation, fibroblast proliferation, deposition of collagen and scar formation associated with inflammation. Corticosteroids are thought to act by controlling the rate of synthesis of proteins. Corticosteroids and their derivatives are capable of producing a rise in intraocular pressure. INDICATIONS FML® (fluorometholone ophthalmic suspension 0.1% w/v) is indicated for the treatment of steroid- responsive inflammation of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior segment of the globe. CONTRAINDICATIONS FML® is contraindicated in: Superficial (or epithelial) herpes simplex keratitis (dendritic keratitis), vaccinia, varicella, and other viral diseases of the cornea and conjunctiva. Fungal diseases of ocular structures. Mycobacterial infections of the eye (e.g., Tuberculosis of the eye). Acute untreated infections of the eye. Hypersensitivity to the constituents of this medication (for a listing of ingredients, see PHARMACEUTICAL INFORMATION), or hypersensitivity to other corticosteroids. Page 2 of 12 WARNINGS Use of topical corticosteroids may cause increased intraocular pressure (IOP) in certain individuals. It is necessary that the IOP be checked frequently in patients with a history of glaucoma. Use of corticosteroids may prolong the course and may exacerbate the severity of many viral eye infections (including herpes simplex). -

Adrenal Disorders
Adrenal Disorders Dual-release Hydrocortisone in Addison’s Disease— A Review of the Literature Roberta Giordano, MD,1 Federica Guaraldi, MD,2 Rita Berardelli, MD,2 Ioannis Karamouzis, MD,2 Valentina D’Angelo, MD,2 Clizia Zichi, MD,2 Silvia Grottoli, MD,2 Ezio Ghigo, PhD2 and Emanuela Arvat, PhD3 1. Department of Clinical and Biological Sciences; 2. Division of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Metabolism, Department of Medical Sciences; 3. Division of Oncological Endocrinology, Department of Medical Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy Abstract In patients with adrenal insufficiency, glucocorticoids (GCs) are insufficiently secreted and GC replacement is essential for health and, indeed, life. Despite GC-replacement therapy, patients with adrenal insufficiency have a greater cardiovascular risk than the general population, and suffer from impaired health-related quality of life. Although the aim of the replacement GC therapy is to reproduce as much as possible the physiologic pattern of cortisol secretion by the normal adrenal gland, the pharmacokinetics of available oral immediate-release hydrocortisone or cortisone make it impossible to fully mimic the cortisol rhythm. Therefore, there is an unmet clinical need for the development of novel pharmaceutical preparations of hydrocortisone, in order to guarantee a more physiologic serum cortisol concentration time-profile, and to improve the long-term outcome in patients under GC substitution therapy.
