Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I use Fluovix?
Fluovix is usually prescribed for short-term use (up to 2 to 4 weeks). Long-term use should be avoided to prevent skin thinning and other side effects.
Can Fluovix be used on the face?
Fluovix can be used on the face, but only if specifically prescribed by your healthcare provider. The face is more sensitive to the side effects of potent steroids like Fluovix, such as skin thinning.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular schedule. Do not double up doses.
Can Fluovix be used for fungal infections?
No, Fluovix is not effective against fungal infections and may worsen them. If you suspect a fungal infection, consult your healthcare provider for appropriate antifungal treatment.
What should I do if I experience side effects?
If you experience severe skin irritation, skin thinning, or signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Fluovix Work?
Fluovix works by reducing the activity of immune cells and blocking the production of inflammatory chemicals such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This decreases inflammation, itching, and redness in the affected areas. The medication acts locally on the skin to control symptoms without the systemic effects seen in oral steroids.
Common Dosages
The typical dosage for Fluovix depends on the condition being treated:
- Apply a thin layer to the affected area once or twice daily as directed by your healthcare provider.
Typical Dosing
- For plaque psoriasis and dermatitis: A thin layer of Fluovix is applied to the affected area of skin 1 to 2 times daily, depending on the severity of the condition. Avoid long-term use unless directed by your healthcare provider.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Plaque psoriasis
- Eczema (atopic dermatitis)
- Seborrheic dermatitis
- Lichen planus
- Allergic skin reactions
- Contact dermatitis
Who Shouldn't Take Fluovix?
- Hypersensitivity to fluocinonide or any components of the formulation.
- Viral skin infections (e.g., herpes simplex, chickenpox).
- Fungal or bacterial infections unless treated with appropriate antifungal or antibiotic medications.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Apply Fluovix sparingly to the affected areas. Avoid using on large areas or for long periods without consulting your healthcare provider.
- Do not cover treated areas with bandages unless advised by your doctor, as this increases absorption and the risk of side effects.
- Wash your hands before and after applying the medication to avoid spreading it to unintended areas.
- Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive areas such as the face, groin, and underarms unless specifically prescribed for those areas.
Side Effects of Fluovix
Common Side Effects
- Burning, stinging, or itching at the application site
- Dry skin
- Redness or swelling
- Stretch marks (striae)
- Acne
- Skin lightening (hypopigmentation)
Uncommon/Severe Side Effects
- Skin thinning (atrophy)
- Increased hair growth in treated areas
- Adrenal suppression with long-term or excessive use
- Allergic reactions (swelling, difficulty breathing)
Risks and Warnings of Fluovix
- Skin Atrophy: Long-term use, especially on sensitive areas like the face, can lead to thinning of the skin.
- Adrenal Suppression: Prolonged use over large areas of skin can result in systemic absorption, leading to adrenal suppression and a reduction in the body’s natural cortisol production.
- Infection Masking: Corticosteroids like Fluovix can mask symptoms of infections and may worsen untreated skin infections.
Interactions with Fluovix
Common Drug Interactions
- Other topical corticosteroids: Using multiple steroids on the same area can increase the risk of side effects like skin thinning.
- Immunosuppressive medications: Concurrent use of immunosuppressive drugs may increase the risk of infections or reduce the effectiveness of Fluovix.
Alternatives to Fluovix
- Clobetasol (Temovate): A stronger corticosteroid for severe inflammatory skin conditions.
- Triamcinolone Acetonide: A mid-potency corticosteroid used to treat inflammatory skin conditions.
- Hydrocortisone: A milder corticosteroid available over-the-counter for less severe skin conditions.
