Patient Information Patient Information Tixocortol Pivalate Your TRUE TEST ® indicates that you have a contact allergy to Tixocortol Pivalate. Tixocortol pivalate and some related compounds in contact with your skin may result in dermatitis. Where is Tixocortol Pivalate found? Tixocortol pivalate is an anti-inflammatory agent that may be found in buccal, nasal, throat and rectal preparations, but not in topical medications for the treatment of skin diseases. Tixocortol pivalate is a marker for a specific class of corticosteroids used to treat skin inflammation. How to avoid Tixocortol Pivalate Avoid pharmaceuticals containing Tixocortol pivalate and other cross-reacting corticosteroids. Pharmaceuticals including corticosteroids are ingredient labeled. If you are strongly allergic a small amount of tixocortol pivalate in contact with your skin may cause an eczematous reaction, usually within 24 hours, that lasts for about a week. If you are weakly allergic the anti-inflammatory effect of tixocortol pivalate may mask the eczema and your skin will not heal. Pharmaceuticals used systemically such as tablets, inhalations and injections may also cause a skin reaction. Inform your healthcare providers that you are allergic to tixocortol pivalate and ask that they use products that are free of this allergen. 2012 ©SmartPractice Denmark Page 1 of 2 Other substances to which you may react o Hydrocortisone o Hydrocortisone acetate o Prednisolone o Prednisolone acetate o Fludrocortisone acetate o Methylprednisolone o Cloprednol You may also react to substances like: o Hydrocortisone-17-butyrate o Hydrocortisone-17-aceponate o Hydrocortisone-17-buteprate o Methylprednisolone aceponate o Prednicarbate A complementary test may be necessary to indicate your specific steroid intolerance. The lists may not be complete. When purchasing products which may come in contact with your skin, check the list of ingredients for any of the names listed above. If in doubt contact your pharmacist or physician.

  • Steroid Use in Prednisone Allergy Abby Shuck, Pharmd Candidate
    Steroid Use in Prednisone Allergy Abby Shuck, PharmD candidate 2015 University of Findlay If a patient has an allergy to prednisone and methylprednisolone, what (if any) other corticosteroid can the patient use to avoid an allergic reaction? Corticosteroids very rarely cause allergic reactions in patients that receive them. Since corticosteroids are typically used to treat severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis, it seems unlikely that these drugs could actually induce an allergic reaction of their own. However, between 0.5-5% of people have reported any sort of reaction to a corticosteroid that they have received.1 Corticosteroids can cause anything from minor skin irritations to full blown anaphylactic shock. Worsening of allergic symptoms during corticosteroid treatment may not always mean that the patient has failed treatment, although it may appear to be so.2,3 There are essentially four classes of corticosteroids: Class A, hydrocortisone-type, Class B, triamcinolone acetonide type, Class C, betamethasone type, and Class D, hydrocortisone-17-butyrate and clobetasone-17-butyrate type. Major* corticosteroids in Class A include cortisone, hydrocortisone, methylprednisolone, prednisolone, and prednisone. Major* corticosteroids in Class B include budesonide, fluocinolone, and triamcinolone. Major* corticosteroids in Class C include beclomethasone and dexamethasone. Finally, major* corticosteroids in Class D include betamethasone, fluticasone, and mometasone.4,5 Class D was later subdivided into Class D1 and D2 depending on the presence or 5,6 absence of a C16 methyl substitution and/or halogenation on C9 of the steroid B-ring. It is often hard to determine what exactly a patient is allergic to if they experience a reaction to a corticosteroid.

  • Contact Dermatitis to Medications and Skin Products
    Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology (2019) 56:41–59 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12016-018-8705-0 Contact Dermatitis to Medications and Skin Products Henry L. Nguyen1 & James A. Yiannias2 Published online: 25 August 2018 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Consumer products and topical medications today contain many allergens that can cause a reaction on the skin known as allergic contact dermatitis. This review looks at various allergens in these products and reports current allergic contact dermatitis incidence and trends in North America, Europe, and Asia. First, medication contact allergy to corticosteroids will be discussed along with its five structural classes (A, B, C, D1, D2) and their steroid test compounds (tixocortol-21-pivalate, triamcinolone acetonide, budesonide, clobetasol-17-propionate, hydrocortisone-17-butyrate). Cross-reactivities between the steroid classes will also be examined. Next, estrogen and testosterone transdermal therapeutic systems, local anesthetic (benzocaine, lidocaine, pramoxine, dyclonine) antihistamines (piperazine, ethanolamine, propylamine, phenothiazine, piperidine, and pyrrolidine), top- ical antibiotics (neomycin, spectinomycin, bacitracin, mupirocin), and sunscreen are evaluated for their potential to cause contact dermatitis and cross-reactivities. Finally, we examine the ingredients in the excipients of these products, such as the formaldehyde releasers (quaternium-15, 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3 diol, diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin), the non- formaldehyde releasers (isothiazolinones, parabens, methyldibromo glutaronitrile, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, and thimero- sal), fragrance mixes, and Myroxylon pereirae (Balsam of Peru) for contact allergy incidence and prevalence. Furthermore, strategies, recommendations, and two online tools (SkinSAFE and the Contact Allergen Management Program) on how to avoid these allergens in commercial skin care products will be discussed at the end.
