Glasgow. and the tGlaxo Group Research Limited. Greenford. Middlesex Summary Clobetasone butyrate eye drops comprise a new steroid preparation which has been investigated in two comparable, double-blind, multicentre clinical trials in patients with ocular inflammation. One study compared clobetasone butyrate with betamethasone phosphate eye drops (205 patients) and the other study compared corresponding preparations containing neomycin (169 patients). There was no difference between the responses to cIobetasone butyrate and betamethasone. An excellent or good response was obtained in 73 per cent of patients treated with c1obetasone butyrate, 75 per cent with betamethasone, 69 per cent with cIobetasone butyrate formulated with neomycin, and 76 per cent with betamethasone formulated with neomycin. Patients who were known to react with a rise of intraocular pressure (lOP) to steroids were treated with clobeta­ sone butyrate eye drops in one eye and either prednisolone eye drops (6 patients) or hydrocortisone eye drops (4 patients) in the other eye. The doses were continued for 6 weeks, or less if the lOP rose more than 10 mm Hg in one eye. All patients experienced a greater intraocular pressure rise in the eye treated with prednisolone or hydro­ cortisone. The mean changes in lOP were 9 mm Hg for prednisolone compared to 2 mm Hg for cIobetasone butyrate (P<0.05 Wilcoxon signed ranks test) and 16 mm Hg for hydrocortisone compared to 2 mm Hg for c1obetasone butyrate. A new steroid eye preparation containing c1obetasone Patients and methods butyrate has been undergoing clinical evaluation.

  • 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.

  • St John's Institute of Dermatology
    St John’s Institute of Dermatology Topical steroids This leaflet explains more about topical steroids and how they are used to treat a variety of skin conditions. If you have any questions or concerns, please speak to a doctor or nurse caring for you. What are topical corticosteroids and how do they work? Topical corticosteroids are steroids that are applied onto the skin and are used to treat a variety of skin conditions. The type of steroid found in these medicines is similar to those produced naturally in the body and they work by reducing inflammation within the skin, making it less red and itchy. What are the different strengths of topical corticosteroids? Topical steroids come in a number of different strengths. It is therefore very important that you follow the advice of your doctor or specialist nurse and apply the correct strength of steroid to a given area of the body. The strengths of the most commonly prescribed topical steroids in the UK are listed in the table below. Table 1 - strengths of commonly prescribed topical steroids Strength Chemical name Common trade names Mild Hydrocortisone 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.5% Hydrocortisone Dioderm®, Efcortelan®, Mildison® Moderate Betamethasone valerate 0.025% Betnovate-RD® Clobetasone butyrate 0.05% Eumovate®, Clobavate® Fluocinolone acetonide 0.001% Synalar 1 in 4 dilution® Fluocortolone 0.25% Ultralanum Plain® Fludroxycortide 0.0125% Haelan® Tape Strong Betamethasone valerate 0.1% Betnovate® Diflucortolone valerate 0.1% Nerisone® Fluocinolone acetonide 0.025% Synalar® Fluticasone propionate 0.05% Cutivate® Hydrocortisone butyrate 0.1% Locoid® Mometasone furoate 0.1% Elocon® Very strong Clobetasol propionate 0.1% Dermovate®, Clarelux® Diflucortolone valerate 0.3% Nerisone Forte® 1 of 5 In adults, stronger steroids are generally used on the body and mild or moderate steroids are used on the face and skin folds (armpits, breast folds, groin and genitals).

Topical pharmaceutical compositions containing a cor- ticosteroid component and a penetration-enhancing vehicle are disclosed. The vehicle comprises a binary combination of a C3-C4 diol and a "cell-envelope disordering compound". The vehicle provides marked transepidermal and percutaneous delivery of corticosteroids. A method of treating certain rheumatic and inflammatory conditions, systemically or loc- ally, is also disclosed. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to topical compositions effective in delivering high levels of certain pharmaceutically-active cor- ticosteroid agents through the integument. Because of the ease of access, dynamics of application, large surface area, vast exposure to the circulatory and lymphatic networks, and non-invasive nature of the treatment, the delivery of pharmaceutically-active agents through the skin has long been a promising concept.
