Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01%/Ketotifen 0.05% Topical Cream is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. This cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism for convenient and controlled application on the skin, allowing for localized treatment and absorption of the active ingredients.

The cream contains two active ingredients: Fluocinolone Acetonide and Ketotifen. Fluocinolone Acetonide is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system. On the other hand, Ketotifen is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. Together, these two medications work synergistically to reduce inflammation, itching, and other symptoms associated with the aforementioned skin conditions.

Patients are advised to apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by their healthcare provider. It is important to avoid applying the cream to broken or infected skin, and to avoid contact with the eyes. Concurrent use of other topical medications on the same area should be avoided unless directed by a healthcare provider.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as burning, stinging, redness, or irritation at the application site. If these side effects occur, or if the condition does not improve or worsens, patients should immediately contact their healthcare provider.

If you have any questions or concerns about Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01%/Ketotifen 0.05% Topical Cream, please do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
