Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Amcinonide Work?
Amcinonide works by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in the skin, leading to a reduction in the production of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and prostaglandins. This action decreases inflammation, redness, and swelling, providing symptomatic relief from conditions like eczema and dermatitis.
Common Dosages
- Topical cream: 0.1% concentration
- Topical ointment: 0.1% concentration
Typical Dosing
- The typical dosing for Amcinonide involves applying a thin layer of the medication to the affected areas of the skin 2 to 3 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. Treatment duration may vary based on the condition and response.

Advice From The Pharmacist
- Apply Amcinonide only to the affected areas, and avoid using it on broken skin or open wounds.
- Wash your hands after applying the medication, unless treating your hands.
- Do not use occlusive dressings (e.g., bandages) unless instructed by your healthcare provider, as this can increase absorption and risk of side effects.
