  • 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.

  • 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).

  • New Zealand Data Sheet
    NEW ZEALAND DATA SHEET 1 NERISONE® NERISONE® Diflucortolone valerate 0.1 % fatty ointment NERISONE® Diflucortolone valerate 0.1 % cream 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION NERISONE® Cream: 1 g white cream contains 1 mg (0.1 %) diflucortolone valerate. The cream is an oil-in-water emulsion containing approximately 70% water. NERISONE® Fatty Ointment: 1 g white single-phase fatty ointment contains 1 mg (0.1 %) diflucortolone valerate. NERISONE® Fatty Ointment contains methyl parahydroxybenzoate and propyl parahydroxybenzoate. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Topical cream Topical fatty ointment 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications All skin diseases which respond to topical corticoid therapy (eg): contact dermatitis, contact eczema, occupational eczema vulgar, nummular, degenerative and seborrhoeic eczema, dyshidrotic eczema, eczema in varicose syndrome (but not directly onto lower limb ulcers), anal eczema, eczema in children, neurodermatitis (endogenous eczema, atopic dermatitis), psoriasis, lichen ruber planus et verrucosus, lupus erythematosus discoides, first degree burns, sunburn, insect bites. 4.2 Dose and method of administration At the beginning of treatment, the NERISONE® preparation best suited to the skin condition is applied thinly two or perhaps three times per day. Once the clinical picture has improved, one application per day usually suffices. NERISONE® is available as a cream and a fatty ointment. Which form should be used in the individual case will depend on the appearance of the skin: NERISONE® CREAM in weeping skin conditions and NERISONE® FATTY OINTMENT in very dry skin conditions. NERISONE® CREAM has a high water and low fat content. In weeping skin diseases it allows secretions to drain away, thus providing for rapid subsidence and drying up of the skin.

For this reason, the therapeutic approach to AD is complex and should be directed at restoring skin barrier function, reducing dehydration, maintaining acidic pH, and avoiding superinfection and exposure to possible allergens. There is no curative treatment for AD. However, a series of measures are recommended to alleviate the disease and enable patients to improve their quality of life. These include adequate skin hydration and restoration of the skin barrier with the use of emollients, antibacterial measures, specific approaches to reduce pruritus and scratching, wet wrap applications, avoidance of typical AD triggers, and topical anti-inflammatory drugs. Anti-inflammatory treatment is generally recommended during acute flares or, more recently, for preventive management.

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.

These guidelines were developed by an expert workgroup appointed by the Dermatological Society of Singapore, to provide doctors with information to assist in the management of their patients with atopic dermatitis. The workgroup members are experienced dermatologists with interest and expertise in eczemas. Materials and Methods: Workgroup members arrived at a consensus on the topics to be included. Relevant studies from the literature were assessed for best evidence, supplemented by the collective experience of the workgroup. Results: For mild atopic dermatitis, emollients, mild potency topical steroids and topical calcineurin inhibitors are recommended. For moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, the use of emollients, moderate- to-potent topical steroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, wet dressings, antimicrobials for secondary skin infection, phototherapy, and systemic therapy (e.g. prednisolone, cyclosporine, azathioprine or methotrexate) may be warranted. Patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis should be managed in conjunction with a dermatologist.
