Fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid primarily used in dermatology to reduce skin inflammation and relieve itching. It is a synthetic hydrocortisone derivative. Fluocinolone acetonide was also found to strongly potentiate TGF-β-associated chondrogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells, by increasing the levels of collagen type II by more than 100 fold compared to the widely used dexamethasone.
Side-effects are extremely rare, but as with all topical corticosteroids, patient may show hypersensitivity reaction.
Topical administration of corticosteroids to pregnant animals can cause abnormalities of fetal development, including cleft palate intrauterine growth retardation. There may be a small risk of such effects on the human fetus. When topical steroid treatment is necessary, minimize the amount and length of treatment.
