Effectiveness

How Fluocinolone Acetonide Affects PatientsFluocinolone acetonide is a medicine used to reduce inflammation. When taken, it can constrict blood vessels and decrease the permeability of cells, as well as reduce the activity of the immune system. For its ophthalmic (eye-related) uses, fluocinolone acetonide is usually inserted directly into the eye. Clinical trials have shown that this medication can reduce the recurrence of eye inflammation over a 6-month period compared to those not treated with it. However, it is important to monitor eye pressure as this medication can increase it slightly.
How Fluocinolone Acetonide works in the bodyFluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid that works to reduce swelling, clotting, and other effects of inflammation. It binds to a receptor in the cell nucleus, which triggers the production of proteins that stop inflammation by blocking the release of an acid that helps create inflammatory molecules. This stops the inflammation process and helps reduce symptoms.

The measure of Fluocinolone Acetonide is conditioned by the acknowledged affliction, like Hemorrhoids, Perianal erythema and Itch. The magnitude of dosage varies as per the mode of delivery (e.g. Kit or Emulsion - Topical) mentioned in the following table.

Fluocinolone Acetonide for Skin Rash that Becomes Thick & Discolored From Rubbing It
I had a terrible rash on my scalp that got worse and worse over the course of a year. I tried various treatments, but nothing worked. But then I started using fluocinolone oil and lotion, and it's almost entirely gone! And there's no more itching, which was driving me crazy.

Fluocinolone Acetonide for Skin Rash that Becomes Thick & Discolored From Rubbing It
I've been battling a terrible rash on my scalp for over a year now, and it's only gotten worse despite trying various treatments. However, after just two weeks of using fluocinolone oil and lotion, the rash is almost entirely gone! And even better, there's no more itching which keeps my fingers away from the area. I'm hopeful that this is the end of the problem.

Fluocinolone Acetonide for Psoriasis of Scalp
I had no issues using this oil on my eyebrows or face; it went on smoothly with a cotton swab. I also didn't experience any burning or itching, which was great. My scalp was a different story though; at first I felt some mild burning sensations, but those quickly subsided within the week. After only eight days of treatment, I went from using it on my whole scalp to just spot-treating areas.

Fluocinolone Acetonide for seborrheic dermatitis of scalp
My doctor prescribed this for me due to a scalp condition. I don't use it the way the directions say, as my dermatologist wanted me not to rinse this out of my hair. I apply it twice daily, using only a small amount so as not to make my hair oily. I have thick, coarse, long curly hair. I use this in conjunction with another medication and it seems to be working. The only time I notice anything off is when I forget to use it or go too long without a proper wash.

This product works somewhat, but it is messy to apply if you are using it on your scalp. It also stains bed linens and clothing. Oil stains do not come out easily, and if you have thicker hair, I am not sure that most of the product actually gets to your scalp.

While this product does work somewhat, it can be quite messy to apply if you're using it on your scalp. It also stains bedding and clothing, and if you have thicker hair, it's difficult to ensure that the product actually reaches your scalp.

Fluocinolone Acetonide for Skin Rash that Becomes Thick & Discolored From Rubbing It
I have eczema and developed a patchy rash on my face from the friction of my glasses. I used this treatment for only one day, and it's slowly disappearing. Thank goodness, because it was on my face and looked horrible.

Patient Q&A Section about fluocinolone acetonide

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is fluocinolone acetonide safe to use?

"Do not use fluocinolone cream over a long period of time, and do not use it on a large area of skin unless your doctor tells you to."

Answered by AI

Is fluocinolone acetonide an antifungal?

"No, fluocinonide is not an antifungal cream. It is a potent topical corticosteroid ("steroid") used to treat skin conditions such as plaque psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (eczema), or other steroid-responsive skin conditions."

Answered by AI

What is fluocinolone acetonide use for?

"Fluocinolone is a drug that is used to relieve discomfort caused by skin conditions. It is a corticosteroid, which is a type of medicine that is similar to cortisone. Fluocinolone is available in different forms, including a topical cream, an oil, and a shampoo. It is used to treat conditions such as psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis."

Answered by AI

Does fluocinolone acetonide grow hair?

"Fluocinonide was applied to one half of the head while the other half was treated with the vehicle. Fluocinonide was occluded (wrapped with plastic or cloth) at night. Results showed that 54% of the treatment arm had hair regrowth compared to 0% in the vehicle group."

Hemorrhoidal Artery Embolization for Hemorrhoids

18 - 90
All Sexes
Los Angeles, CA
Hemorrhoidal artery embolization (HAE) is a novel treatment for symptomatic internal hemorrhoids. HAE involves the deliberate blockage (embolization) of enlarged rectal or hemorrhoidal arteries leading to reduction of abnormal blood flow to the hemorrhoidal tissue. The aim of HAE is to the improve hemorrhoid related symptoms, especially bleeding. Initial reports of HAE have demonstrated that it both safe and effective. Following an initial clinic visit to determine trial candidacy, enrolled patients will be subsequently treated with HAE. Patients will be followed for a year with clinic follow-up visits at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.

Female
Providence, RI
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to assess recovery in patients undergoing benign laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: do liberalized postoperative restrictions improve patient recovery after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery? Researchers will compare postoperative recovery surveys from the control group (patients given standard postoperative restrictions limiting activity for 2 weeks) to the research group (patients given liberalized postoperative instructions allowing them to engage in their normal activities of daily life at their own discretion without prescribed activity restrictions) to see if liberalized postoperative restrictions improve the recovery experience. Participants will be asked to fill out a brief questionnaire at two time intervals, 1 week after surgery and 2 weeks after surgery.

Octreotide for Diabetic Macular Edema

18 - 90
All Sexes
Birmingham, AL
Treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macula edema has included panretinal photocoagulation and intra ocular injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (anti-VEGF) agents and steroids. Anti-VEGF therapy is currently the first-line treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathies; however, this approach is ineffective in more than 30% of patients with diabetic retinal complications. Available evidence shows that subcutaneous (under the skin) injection of octreotide, a somatostatin analog, has potential therapeutic benefits in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and diabetic macula edema (DME). This study thus seeks to determine the efficacy and safety of intranasal DDM-octreotide in the treatment of diabetic macula edema in individuals that are considered to be refractory to the current therapeutic options.

All Sexes
Phoenix, AZ
This study aims to evaluate the ocular and systemic safety, tolerability and efficacy of RO7446603 in participants with diabetic macular edema (DME). The study consists of 2 segments: Phase I (Parts 1-4) and Phase II (Part 5). Phase I investigated the safety of RO7446603 following a single and multiple intravitreal (IVT) doses as monotherapy or co-administered with IVT aflibercept or IVT faricimab (in separate injections). Phase II will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy of two dose levels of RO7446603 in combination with faricimab, with the two drugs co-mixed and administered as a single IVT injection, compared to faricimab alone. The first participant was enrolled in the Phase I segment on June 22, 2022. Phase I has been completed.

This study will assess the safety and tolerability of RO7497372 in participants with DME. The study consists of 2 parts. Part 1 will test multiple-ascending doses of RO7497372 after unilateral intravitreal (IVT) administration in participants with DME. The main purpose of Part 1 is to provide data for RO7497372 safety and tolerability, as well as to characterize the ocular and systemic pharmacokinetics (PK), systemic anti-drug antibodies (ADA), and duration of target engagement, i.e., the pharmacodynamics (PD) in aqueous humor (AH) and blood. Part 2 will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of two dose strengths of RO7497372 (low dose and high dose), identified as safe and tolerated in Part 1.

Methadone vs Remifentanil for Pain in Craniotomy Surgery

18 - 65
All Sexes
Charlottesville, VA
Postoperative pain is prevalent after intracranial surgery. Patients undergoing craniotomy are typically managed with short acting opioids to enable early and reliable post-operative neurological exam as well as avoid the risk of respiratory depression. However, a plethora of studies have shown that a majority of these patients experience moderate to severe pain in first 48 hours after surgery. Suboptimal pain control can lead to complications such as arterial hypertension and post-operative intracranial hemorrhage, and hence, increased morbidity and mortality. Intravenous (IV) methadone has a long analgesic half-life and has N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) properties. It has previously been shown to reduce postoperative opioid requirements, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and postoperative pain scores in patients that underwent orthopedic, abdominal, complex spine, and cardiac surgery. Similar findings have been shown in obstetric patients that underwent caesarean delivery under general anesthesia as well as patients that underwent gynecologic surgery and received IV methadone intraoperatively. In a recently published retrospective study, a single intraoperative dose of IV methadone was well tolerated with lower pain scores as well as MME (oral morphine milligram equivalents) requirements for up to 72 hours after elective intracranial surgery. IV methadone has, however, never been compared with conventional management via IV remifentanil for functional recovery in patients undergoing elective intercranial surgery. The investigator's hypothesis is that intravenous (IV) methadone is non-inferior to IV remifentanil in patients who undergo elective intracranial surgery. It offers the advantage of being a single dose noninvasive analgesic modality that may contribute to decreasing MME consumption during the first 72 hours postoperatively, controlling postoperative pain, and improving quality of recovery after surgery.
