Synalar 10/Synalar 25: Open Therapy: A small amount should be applied lightly to the affected skin area two to three times daily with gentle but thorough massage. When the condition is under control, the dosage should be decreased gradually.
Occlusive Dressing Therapy: Closed dressings applied over Fluocinolone acetonide (Synalar 10/Synalar 25 Cream) have been found to be effective for the management of a number of particularly stubborn chronic dermatoses.
Fluocinolone acetonide (Synalar 10/Synalar 25 Cream) is sparingly applied to the lesion and gently rubbed in. A further thin coat is applied and the area is then covered completely with a pliable nonporous film. Frequency of dressing change is best determined by the physician on an individual basis. It may be changed twice daily but as general rule, change of dressing every 24 hours is recommended. Convenience may dictate the use of closed dressings for only part of each day with the use of bland emollients between dressings for dry, fissured lesions.
In general, the rate of response of a given lesion is directly related to the total time the lesion is treated with a closed dressing. Reapplication of Fluocinolone acetonide (Synalar 10/Synalar 25 Cream) in the method given as previously mentioned is essential at each change of dressing. When the condition is under control, the dosage should be reduced gradually.
