📖 What it is MedlinePlus · NLM

Fluocinolone topical is used to treat the itching, redness, dryness, crusting, scaling, inflammation, and discomfort of various skin conditions, including psoriasis (a skin disease in which red, scaly patches form on some areas of the body and eczema (a skin disease that causes the skin to be dry and itchy and to sometimes develop red, scaly rashes). Fluocinolone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works by activating natural substances in the skin to reduce swelling, redness, and itching.

Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Price systemPer eachPer package
Retail pharmacies payNADAC · weekly Not in the retail survey — common for institutional, discontinued, or low-volume packs.

ℹ️
No price is published for this exact package yet. CMS surveys NADAC per package size, so a different pack of the same drug often has one.
Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~2 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Endocrine System Adverse Reactions: o Topical corticosteroids can produce reversible HPA axis suppression, Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria. ( 5.1 ) o Systemic absorption may require evaluation for hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression. Potent corticosteroids use on large areas, prolonged use or occlusive use, altered skin barrier, liver failure, and young age may increase systemic absorption.

Modify use should HPA axis suppression develop. ( 5.1 ) • Local Adverse Reactions: Local adverse reactions may include atrophy, striae irritation, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, and allergic contact dermatitis, and may be more likely with occlusive use or more potent corticosteroids. ( 5.2 , 6.1 ) • Ophthalmic Adverse Reactions: May increase the risks of glaucoma and posterior subcapsular cataract.

Avoid contact of fluocinolone acetonide topical oil with eyes. Advise patients to report any visual symptoms and consider referral to an ophthalmologist for evaluation. ( 5.3 )

5.1Endocrine System Adverse Reactions Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids can produce reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression with the potential for glucocorticosteroid insufficiency. Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria can result from systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids. HPA axis suppression and Cushing’s syndrome have been reported in patients receiving topical corticosteroids.

Conditions which increase systemic absorption include the use of more potent corticosteroids, use over large surface areas, use over prolonged periods, use of occlusive dressings, altered skin barrier, liver failure, and young age. Use of more than one corticosteroid-containing product at the same time may increase total systemic corticosteroid exposure. Because of the potential for systemic absorption, use of topical corticosteroids may require that patients be periodically evaluated for HPA axis suppression.

The ACTH stimulation test may be helpful in evaluating patients for HPA axis suppression. If HPA axis suppression is documented, an attempt should be made to withdraw the drug, to reduce the frequency of application, or to substitute a less potent corticosteroid. Manifestations of adrenal insufficiency may require supplemental systemic corticosteroids.

Recovery of HPA axis function is generally prompt upon discontinuation of topical corticosteroids.

5.2Local Adverse Reactions Local adverse reactions may occur with use of topical corticosteroids, including fluocinolone acetonide topical oil, and may be more likely to occur with occlusive use, prolonged use or use of higher potency corticosteroids. Some local adverse reactions may be irreversible. Reactions may include atrophy, striae, telangiectasias, burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, secondary infection, and miliaria [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] .

5.3Ophthalmic Adverse Reactions Use of topical corticosteroids may increase the risks of glaucoma and posterior subcapsular cataract. Glaucoma and cataracts have been reported in postmarketing experience with the use of topical corticosteroid products. Avoid contact of fluocinolone acetonide topical oil with eyes. Advise patients to report any visual symptoms and consider referral to an ophthalmologist for evaluation.

5.4Allergic Contact Dermatitis Use of topical corticosteroids can cause allergic contact dermatitis. Allergic contact dermatitis to any component of topical corticosteroids is usually diagnosed by a failure to heal rather than a clinical exacerbation. Clinical diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis can be confirmed by patch testing.

5.5Concomitant Skin Infections Use of topical corticosteroids may delay healing or worsen concomitant skin infections. Treat concomitant skin infections with an appropriate antimicrobial agent. If the infecti… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling: • Endocrine System Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Local Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] • Ophthalmic Adverse Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] The most common adverse reactions in pediatric subjects treated for atopic dermatitis (≥5%) were cough (20%), rhinorrhea (13%), pyrexia (10%), telangiectasia (7%), nasopharyngitis (7%), and hypopigmentation (7%).

( 6.1 , 6.2 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Padagis ® at 1-866-634-9120 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

6.1Clinical Studies Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying condition, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. An open-label safety study was conducted in 29 pediatric subjects 3 months to 2 years old to assess the HPA axis by ACTH stimulation testing following use of the formulation of fluocinolone acetonide topical oil twice daily for 4 weeks.

Fluocinolone acetonide topical oil is not approved for use in pediatric patients for the treatment of psoriasis of the scalp. The most common adverse reactions were reported in the study: Table 1: Adverse Reactions in ≥ 2% Pediatric Subjects 3 Months to 2 Years of Age Treated with the Formulation of Fluocinolone Acetonide Topical Oil (Scalp Oil), N=30* Adverse Reaction n (%) Cough 6 (20) Rhinorrhea 4 (13) Pyrexia 3 (10) Nasopharyngitis 2 (7) Hypopigmentation 2 (7) Abscess 1 (3) Atopic Dermatitis 1 (3) Eczema 1 (3) Hyperpigmentation 1 (3) Molluscum 1 (3) Rash 1 (3) Diarrhea 1 (3) Otitis Media 1 (3) URI 1 (3) Vomiting 1 (3) * Includes one subject who withdrew at Week 2

6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of products containing topical corticosteroids. Because postmarketing adverse reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. • Endocrine Disorders: HPA axis suppression and Cushing’s syndrome • Eye Disorders: glaucoma and cataracts • Nervous System Disorders: intracranial hypertension including bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~2 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Available data from case reports, case series, and observational studies on fluocinolone acetonide use in pregnant women have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Observational studies suggest maternal use of high to super-high potency topical steroids may be associated with an increased risk of low birthweight infants. Advise pregnant women to use fluocinolone acetonide topical oil on the smallest area of skin and for the shortest duration possible.

Corticosteroids can cause fetal malformations in laboratory animals when administered systemically at relatively low dosage levels. Some corticosteroids cause fetal malformations after dermal application in laboratory animals. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.

All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of fluocinolone acetonide in breast milk or its effects on the breastfed infant or on milk production. It is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk. To minimize potential exposure to the breastfed infant via breast milk, use fluocinolone acetonide topical oil on the smallest area of skin and for the shortest duration possible while breastfeeding.

Advise breastfeeding women not to apply fluocinolone acetonide topical oil directly to the nipple and areola to avoid direct infant exposure [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for fluocinolone acetonide topical oil and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from fluocinolone acetonide topical oil or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of fluocinolone acetonide topical oil have not been established in pediatric patients with psoriasis of the scalp. Evaluation in Peanut-Sensitive Pediatric Patients A clinical trial was conducted to assess the safety of the formulation of fluocinolone acetonide topical oil which contains refined peanut oil, in patients with known peanut allergies. The trial enrolled 13 pediatric subjects with atopic dermatitis, 6 to 17 years of age.

Fluocinolone acetonide topical oil (scalp oil) is not approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Of the 13 subjects, 9 were Radioallergosorbent Test (RAST) positive to peanuts and 4 had no peanut sensitivity (controls). The trial evaluated the subjects’ responses to both prick test and patch test utilizing refined peanut oil, the formulation of fluocinolone acetonide topical oil and histamine/saline controls.

Subjects were also treated with the formulation of fluocinolone acetonide topical oil twice daily for 7 days. Prick test and patch test results for all 13 subjects were negative to the formulation of fluocinolone acetonide topical oil and the refined peanut oil. One of the 9 peanut-sensitive subjects experienced an exacerbation of atopic dermatitis after 5 days of use on the formulation of fluocinolone acetonide topical oil.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology 195 words ▾

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Corticosteroids play a role in cellular signaling, immune function, inflammation, and protein regulation; however, the precise mechanism of action in psoriasis of the scalp is unknown.

12.2Pharmacodynamics Vasoconstrictor Assay Fluocinolone acetonide topical oil is in the low to medium range of potency as compared with other topical corticosteroids in vasoconstrictor studies. However, similar blanching scores do not necessarily imply therapeutic equivalence. Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis Suppression HPA axis suppression following administration of fluocinolone acetonide topical oil was not assessed.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from intact healthy skin. The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors, including the product formulation and the integrity of the epidermal barrier. Occlusion, inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin may increase percutaneous absorption.

The use of pharmacodynamic endpoints for assessing the systemic exposure of topical corticosteroids may be necessary due to the fact that circulating levels are often below the level of detection. Once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroids are metabolized, primarily in the liver, and are then excreted by the kidneys. Some corticosteroids and their metabolites are also excreted in the bile.

🧬 Pharmacokinetics 109 words ▾

12.3Pharmacokinetics Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from intact healthy skin. The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors, including the product formulation and the integrity of the epidermal barrier. Occlusion, inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin may increase percutaneous absorption.

The use of pharmacodynamic endpoints for assessing the systemic exposure of topical corticosteroids may be necessary due to the fact that circulating levels are often below the level of detection. Once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroids are metabolized, primarily in the liver, and are then excreted by the kidneys. Some corticosteroids and their metabolites are also excreted in the bile.

🧬 Pharmacodynamics 53 words ▾

12.2Pharmacodynamics Vasoconstrictor Assay Fluocinolone acetonide topical oil is in the low to medium range of potency as compared with other topical corticosteroids in vasoconstrictor studies. However, similar blanching scores do not necessarily imply therapeutic equivalence. Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis Suppression HPA axis suppression following administration of fluocinolone acetonide topical oil was not assessed.

🔬 Clinical Studies 42 words ▾

14 CLINICAL STUDIES In a vehicle-controlled study for the treatment of psoriasis of the scalp in adults, after 21 days of treatment, 60% of patients on active treatment and 21% of patients on the drug vehicle had excellent to cleared clinical response.

Medicare Part D spend CMS · PART D · 2026 (Q1)

Medicare Part D (outpatient prescription) spending for Fluocinolone Acetonide — the program that covers self-administered drugs. 8 manufacturers.
⚠️ Drug-level data: CMS publishes Part D spending by drug, not by NDC — these figures combine every manufacturer, strength and package size sold under the name Fluocinolone Acetonide. That’s a different level of aggregation than the Medicaid card above, which is specific to this exact 11-digit NDC (pack size included), so the two aren’t directly comparable.

💵 About the dollar figures: spending is what Part D plans paid before confidential manufacturer rebates, so the program’s real net cost is lower. A blank patient count means fewer than 11 people — CMS hides counts that small to protect privacy. Source: CMS Medicare Quarterly Part D Spending by Drug (data.cms.gov), updated quarterly.

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by A-S Medication Solutions. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Who lists this product with the FDA?
A-S Medication Solutions is the labeler of record for this NDC — the company under whose FDA-assigned code the package is listed. The labeler may be the manufacturer itself or a distributor marketing the product under its own code.
Do I need a prescription for this product?
This NDC is listed with FDA as a prescription product, so it is dispensed under a prescriber's order. Your pharmacist can tell you whether any over-the-counter forms of the same medication exist.
This page identifies an FDA-listed package (the NDC) and reports public regulatory and pricing data about the listing. It is reference information, not a medical recommendation — talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about your own medication.
Where does this data come from?
Listing facts (marketing category, packager status, marketing dates) from the FDA openFDA NDC Directory; label availability from DailyMed; pricing coverage from CMS NADAC; equivalence scope from the FDA Orange Book.
