About Flucort Cream

Flucort Cream belongs to the class of medications called ‘Corticosteroids’ used to treat inflammation and itching caused by skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is the inflammation of the oily glands present in the skin. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that results in itchy and scaly rashes on the skin. Eczema is the red and itchy rashes on the skin that occur due to allergens such as pollen, food or other irritants. Dermatitis is a generalized term for inflammation of the skin. 

Flucort Cream contains ‘fluocinolone acetonide’ which belongs to the class of ‘corticosteroids’. It reduces the release of inflammatory mediators (chemicals that cause inflammation). It causes constriction of blood vessels decreasing the access of cells to the site of injury. This effect helps in reducing the swelling, pain, itching and discomfort.

Flucort Cream is for topical use. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Flucort Cream are burning or itching sensation at the site of application, body aches or pain, cough, sore throat, fever, headache, lightening of normal skin colour or treated areas of dark skin, stuffy or runny nose, tender, swollen glands in the neck, trouble swallowing, unusual tiredness or weakness and voice changes.

Do not take Flucort Cream if you are allergic to ‘fluocinolone acetonide’ or any ingredients present in it. Before taking Flucort Cream, inform your doctor if you have any skin infection, history of reaction to any steroid, liver disease or an adrenal gland disorder. Inform your doctor if you are taking prescription, non-prescription medicines, herbal products or dietary supplements. Also, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat a healthy and balanced diet and make sure you sleep at least 8 hours a day for a speedy recovery.
  • Include heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acid containing food drinks in your daily diet. You can also use low-fat cooking oil like olive oil, soybean oil, canola oil and coconut oil.
