Fluocinolone Acetonide

Fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid medication used in topical corticosteroids. There are many different types of cortisone

products. An allergy to fluocinolone acetonide does not mean you are allergic to all corticosteroids.

Avoidance requires reading labels, package inserts, and on occasion, direct communication with the manufacturer. You should alert

your health care provider about your allergy to this substance so fluocinolone acetonide is not prescribed for you.

Skin contact with fluocinolone acetonide is required for it to cause a rash. Discontinuation of exposure to products containing

fluocinolone acetonide should result in improvement and/or the resolution of your dermatitis. By law, all products made in the U.S. for

topical use have the ingredients listed either on the product package or the box that contains it, so check the labeling of your skincare products for this ingredient. If there is no information ask your pharmacist or call the company directly. At work, request a

Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to help identify potential sources of exposure.
