SYNALAR CREAM

Generic Name: fluocinolone topical (floo oh SIN oh lone TOP i kal)
Brand Names: Capex, Flurosyn, Synalar

Synalar (fluocinolone)is a topical (for the skin) steroid. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, redness, and swelling.

What is it used for?
Inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis that are infected or likely to become infected.

Synalar gel contains the active ingredient fluocinolone acetonide, which is a type of medicine known as a topical corticosteroid.

Corticosteroids are medicines used for reducing inflammation. Inflammation of the skin happens as a result of allergy or irritation of the skin, and is caused by the release of various substances that are important in the immune system. These substances cause blood vessels to widen and result in the irritated area becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful, such as is seen in dermatitis or eczema.

When fluocinolone is applied to the skin it works by acting inside the skin cells to decrease the release of these inflammatory substances. This reduces swelling, redness and itch.

There is a range of potencies of corticosteroids available for application to the skin. Synalar gel contains fluocinolone 0.025% and is classed as a potent corticosteroid. It is prescribed to treat various inflammatory skin disorders, such as eczema and dermatitis, that have not responded to milder steroids.

Synalar gel is a non-greasy formulation that is lighter than Synalar cream and ointment and is more suitable for use on the scalp and other hairy areas of skin.
