Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Topicort Spray Work?

Desoximetasone, the active ingredient in Topicort Spray, is a potent corticosteroid that works by suppressing inflammatory responses in the skin. It reduces the activity of immune cells, which in turn decreases inflammation, swelling, redness, and itching, providing relief from symptoms of skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.



Common Dosages

  • 0.25% desoximetasone spray

Typical Dosing

  • For inflammatory skin conditions: Apply Topicort Spray to the affected areas twice daily. Spray the medication directly onto the skin and gently rub it in if necessary. Use the smallest amount needed to cover the affected area.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Inflammatory and pruritic (itchy) manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, such as:
  • Psoriasis
  • Eczema
  • Contact dermatitis
  • Seborrheic dermatitis


Who Shouldn't Take Topicort Spray?

  • Known hypersensitivity to desoximetasone or any of the components of the formulation
  • Untreated skin infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal)


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Shake the spray well before each use.
  • Apply only to affected areas and avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or open wounds.
  • Do not cover the treated area with a bandage or occlusive dressing unless instructed by your healthcare provider, as this can increase absorption and lead to more side effects.
  • Wash your hands before and after application, unless you are treating your hands.


Side Effects of Topicort Spray

Common Side Effects

  • Skin irritation (burning, itching, or redness)
  • Dryness or cracking of the skin
  • Stretch marks (striae) with long-term use
  • Skin thinning (with prolonged use)


Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

  • Skin infections (due to immune suppression)
  • Adrenal suppression (with excessive use)
  • Allergic contact dermatitis


Risks and Warnings of Topicort Spray

  • Skin Thinning: Prolonged use of Topicort Spray, particularly on sensitive areas like the face or groin, can lead to skin thinning. Limit use to the prescribed duration.
  • Systemic Absorption: Prolonged use, especially over large areas or under occlusion, can lead to systemic absorption of the corticosteroid, potentially causing adrenal suppression or other systemic effects.
  • Infection Risk: Topical corticosteroids can mask infections or make them harder to treat, so avoid use on infected skin unless directed by a healthcare provider.


Interactions with Topicort Spray

Common Drug Interactions

  • Other topical corticosteroids: Using multiple corticosteroid products increases the risk of skin thinning, adrenal suppression, or other side effects.
  • Occlusive dressings: Covering treated areas with occlusive dressings can enhance the absorption of Topicort Spray, increasing the risk of systemic side effects.


Alternatives to Topicort Spray

  • Clobetasol propionate (Clobex Spray): A more potent corticosteroid spray for treating inflammatory skin conditions.
  • Triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog): Another corticosteroid used to treat inflammatory skin conditions.
  • Calcipotriene (Dovonex): A non-steroidal topical treatment for psoriasis.
  • Tacrolimus (Protopic): A non-corticosteroid immunosuppressant for treating eczema.
