Lidex / Metosyn (generic name: fluocinonide) is a high-potency topical corticosteroid used to treat a variety of skin conditions characterized by inflammation and itching. This includes conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and contact dermatitis. By suppressing inflammatory pathways, fluocinonide reduces redness, swelling, and discomfort, offering relief for individuals experiencing moderate to severe dermatological conditions.

As a corticosteroid, fluocinonide works by inhibiting the release of substances in the body, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, that contribute to inflammation. This mechanism of action not only helps to alleviate symptoms but also prevents further exacerbation of skin conditions. Its potency makes it effective in managing persistent or resistant symptoms that do not respond to lower-strength treatments. Lidex Cream is typically prescribed for short-term use to minimize potential side effects, such as skin thinning or systemic absorption, that can occur with prolonged application. The cream formulation allows for easy application and rapid absorption into the skin, delivering targeted relief to affected areas. Dosage

Follow the prescribing doctor’s instructions. The usual procedure for adults and children aged 12 and older is to apply a thin layer to the affected area 2 to 4 times daily, depending on the severity of the condition. Treatment should not exceed two consecutive weeks without medical supervision. Clean and dry the affected area before application and gently rub in until it is fully absorbed. Wash hands thoroughly after applying unless the hands are in the treated area. Only use dressings if directed by a healthcare provider, as occlusion can increase systemic absorption.

Storage

Store Lidex Cream at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Do not freeze.

Read the information leaflet that comes with the medication.

Most people who use Lidex Cream do not experience any adverse side effects. Doctors prescribe this medication because they assess the benefits of such treatment outweigh any likely unwanted effects.

Some of the side effects that have been reported include burning, itching, or irritation at the application site, dryness or peeling of the skin, and acneiform eruptions.

Not all side effects are listed here. If these or other unlisted symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Fluocinonide is particularly effective in managing plaque psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, leading to the formation of red, scaly patches. It also provides significant relief for eczema, a condition marked by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin often triggered by allergens or irritants. For contact dermatitis, whether caused by allergic reactions or irritants, Lidex Cream helps to rapidly soothe irritation and restore skin health.
