Why is Synalar prescribed?

Synalar (Fluocinolone) is a prescription topical corticosteroid primarily used to alleviate inflammatory skin conditions. It is commonly prescribed to treat various disorders where inflammation and itching are prominent, including eczema and allergic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis.

What does it do?

Synalar works by locally reducing inflammation at the site of application. It limits the activity of inflammatory mediators (like cytokines) that cause redness, swelling, and itching. By calming the immune response, it helps reduce the discomfort associated with itching often seen in conditions like eczema or psoriasis.

In essence, Synalar acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-itch agent when applied directly to affected areas, helping to control and alleviate symptoms associated with various skin conditions.

How should I take it?

Use Synalar exactly as instructed on the label and follow all prescription guidelines. As a topical medication, apply it safely by first cleaning and drying the affected area. Use a thin layer of cream, ointment, or solution as directed, typically 2 to 4 times daily. Gently rub it in to ensure even distribution and wash your hands before and after application unless treating your hands.

Additionally, avoid occlusive dressings unless advised by your doctor, as these can increase absorption and potential side effects. Use caution when applying to sensitive areas like the face, groin, or underarms, unless specifically directed by your healthcare provider.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Synalar, apply it as soon as you remember. If your next scheduled dose is near, skip the missed one and stick to your regular dosing routine. Do not double the dose or apply more than the prescribed amount to make up for a missed one.

What are the special precautions before taking Synalar?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history and do not use Synalar if you are allergic to fluocinolone or any of its ingredients.

Before taking Synalar, here are several important precautions to keep in mind:

• Disclose all your current or past medical conditions to your doctor, particularly if you have skin infections, diabetes, liver disease, or any adrenal gland disorders since corticosteroids can affect blood sugar levels and endocrine function.
• Avoid using on damaged or infected skin. Applying on open wounds or overly irritated areas can increase absorption and the risk of side effects.
• Refrain from applying Synalar to a child without medical guidance, as their skin can absorb higher amounts of the medication, potentially increasing the risk of side effects such as growth retardation.
• Avoid covering the area where topical fluocinolone is applied with bandages, wraps, or other seals unless specifically directed by your healthcare provider.

Does it have any side effects?

It is important to note that all drugs have corresponding side effects and adverse reactions. Additional information may be obtained when you ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects may include:
• Acne or pimples
• Dry skin
• Itching
• Redness at the application site

Serious side effects may include:
• Difficulty breathing
• Severe rash or swelling
• Cushing’s syndrome
• Vision problems

This is not a complete list of potential side effects, and additional reactions may occur. For detailed information and medical guidance, consult your healthcare provider.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Synalar (Fluocinolone) can interact with various medications, so it's important to check for potential interactions before taking it with another drug. Some interactions may increase side effects or reduce effectiveness.

Before taking Synalar, consult your doctor if you are using any of the following medications:

• Immunosuppressants
• Insulin
• Tolazamide
• Metformin
• Other corticosteroids

This is not a complete list of all the potential drug interactions, always consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining Synalar with other medications to ensure safety.

How should I store it?

Synalar should be stored in its original container at room temperature, ideally between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Keep the medication in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure it is kept out of reach of children and pets.

What action should I take in case of overdose?

If you suspect an overdose of Synalar (Fluocinolone), it's important to act quickly and seek immediate medical attention. Contact emergency services or go to the nearest hospital. Overdose symptoms may include increased thirst or urination, muscle weakness, fatigue, or dizziness.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Synalar (Fluocinolone) should be used with caution for pregnant or breastfeeding women. The effects of topical fluocinolone on pregnancy and unborn babies are not well understood, so it's important to inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Additionally, whether fluocinolone transfers into breast milk remains unknown. If using it while breastfeeding, make sure to avoid applying it to the nipple or areola.

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider for guidance on its use to ensure safety for both you and your baby.
