Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Fluoxetine 40 mg/Gm Topical Lipoderm® is a specially compounded topical medication designed to treat a range of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), with Lipoderm®, a sophisticated topical delivery system. The medication is primarily used to manage and alleviate symptoms associated with skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea.

Fluoxetine, the active ingredient, is an SSRI that functions by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in mood regulation and behavior. By blocking the reuptake of serotonin, fluoxetine aids in reducing inflammation and enhancing skin health. This mechanism of action makes it a potent ingredient in the treatment of various skin conditions.

Lipoderm®, on the other hand, is a topical delivery system that ensures the fluoxetine is directly delivered to the skin. This targeted delivery allows for optimal absorption and effectiveness, ensuring that the active ingredient reaches the affected area and works where it is most needed. The Lipoderm® base also provides a gel-like consistency, which is dispensed through a pump mechanism for easy and precise application.

Fluoxetine 40 mg/Gm Topical Lipoderm® is a potent and effective treatment for a variety of skin conditions. It has been shown to reduce inflammation, improve overall skin health, and lessen the severity of symptoms associated with various skin conditions. However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. If you have any queries about this formulation or how it can assist in treating your skin condition, please consult with your healthcare provider.
