PHARMACOLOGY

Halcinonide cream contains Halcinonide which is a class of primarily synthetic steroid used as topical anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic & antipruritic agent. It is highly effective in corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses because of bi-phasic base. Bi-phasic base offers immediate release of medicaments and prolonged action. On topical application, it can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation as well as other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption of halcinonide. Occlusive dressings substantially increase the percutaneous absorption of the drug. Once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroid is handled through pharmacokinetic pathways similar to systemically administered corticosteroids.
