FAQs

Flutivate Cream decreases swelling, redness, and itching by preventing the generation of chemical messengers in the body that induce inflammation. As a result, Flutivate Cream assists in treating various inflammatory skin disorders.

Long-term use of Flutivate Cream can thin your skin and develop stretch marks. Therefore, use Flutivate Cream only for as long as it has been prescribed by the doctor.

After a few days of using Flutivate Cream, your condition should begin to improve. Speak with your doctor if your condition does not improve after four weeks or if it worsens at any point.

About Flutivate Cream

Flutivate Cream belongs to the class of corticosteroid medication used to treat itching, swelling, and irritation in skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, contact dermatitis, lichen planus (a type of rash), and lupus. Psoriasis is a skin condition characterised by flaky patches of skin covered with scales. Eczema is a skin disorder that causes dry, red, itchy, and rough skin. Contact dermatitis is a skin condition triggered by contact with allergens.

Flutivate Cream includes Fluticasone propionate, a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties on the skin. It reduces swelling, redness, and itching by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation. Thus, Flutivate Cream aids in treating various skin inflammatory conditions.

Flutivate Cream is for external use only. In some cases, Flutivate Cream may cause side effects such as itching, burning sensation, increased erythema (redness of the skin), urticaria (skin rash), irritation, and light-headedness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Flutivate Cream or have any other skin infection, cuts, broken skin or itchy skin that is not inflamed or red. And also, inform the doctor if you are trying to get pregnant, are already pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Flutivate Cream should be used under the supervision of a paediatrician.

FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE-0.05%W/WOther diseases of liver
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Flutivate Cream 10 gm:
Corticosteroids are primarily eliminated by hepatic metabolism, hence liver dysfunction may cause them to accumulate. Hepatic disease patients need to be closely watched.

How to manage the interaction:
Liver disease patients using Flutivate Cream 10 gm should be monitored closely.
FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE-0.05%W/WCushing syndrome
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Flutivate Cream 10 gm:
Rarely, the use of nasal and inhaled corticosteroids may cause hyperadrenocorticism or worsen its symptoms. Corticosteroid side effects can be lessened by administering them locally rather than systemically, although the dangers are still present. Drugs that are applied topically or inhaled may enter the bloodstream, especially when high concentrations are utilised. It is crucial that the lowest effective dosage be used and that the recommended dosages of the various products not be exceeded. During inhaled or nasal corticosteroid medication, the emergence of symptoms such irregular menstruation, acneiform lesions, cataracts, and cushingoid features may signify overuse.

How to manage the interaction:
The use of inhaled and nasal corticosteroids such as Flutivate Cream 10 gm may rarely precipitate or aggravate conditions of hyperadrenocorticism. Hence, you are advised not to use more than the recommended dosages.
FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE-0.05%W/WGlaucoma
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Flutivate Cream 10 gm:
In patients with ocular herpes simplex, pharmacologic doses of corticosteroids may raise the risk of corneal perforation. In such patients, corticosteroid therapy should be delivered with caution, both orally and inhalation.

How to manage the interaction:
Inhaled and nasal Flutivate Cream 10 gm should be used with caution in patients with ocular herpes simplex (a type of viral eye infection).
FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE-0.05%W/WOsteoporosis without pathological fracture
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Flutivate Cream 10 gm:
Long-term inhalation of corticosteroids may cause a decline in bone density. This effect, which has mostly been documented with high dosages (>= 800 mcg/day of beclomethasone or similar for >= 1 year), appears to be dose-related. Patients getting lesser dosages have also been shown to have lower levels of total body calcium. Patients with osteoporosis should be treated with inhaled and nasal corticosteroids over the long term with caution. It is crucial that the lowest effective dosage be used and that the recommended dosages of the various products not be exceeded.

How to manage the interaction:
Long-term therapy with inhaled and nasal corticosteroids should be used with caution in patients with osteoporosis. It is advised not to exceed more than the recommended dosages.
