🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Fluocinonide Cream, 0.1% is a corticosteroid indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients 12 years of age or older. (1) Limitation of Use: Treatment beyond 2 consecutive weeks is not recommended and the total dosage should not exceed 60 g per week because of the potential for the drug to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. (1) Avoid use on the face, groin, or axillae.
(1.2) Avoid use in perioral dermatitis or rosacea.
1.1Indication Fluocinonide Cream, 0.1%, is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients 12 years of age or older [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] .
1.2Limitation of Use Treatment beyond 2 consecutive weeks is not recommended and the total dosage should not exceed 60 g per week because the safety of Fluocinonide Cream, 0.1% for longer than 2 weeks has not been established and because of the potential for the drug to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Therapy should be discontinued when control of the disease is achieved. If no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of the diagnosis may be necessary.
Do not use more than half of the 120 g tube per week. Fluocinonide Cream, 0.1% should not be used in the treatment of rosacea or perioral dermatitis, and should not be used on the face, groin, or axillae.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Fluocinonide Cream has been shown to suppress the HPA axis. Systemic absorption of Fluocinonide Cream may produce reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia and unmask latent diabetes (5.1) Systemic absorption may require evaluation for HPA axis suppression (5.1) Modify use should HPA axis suppression develop (5.1) Potent corticosteroids, use on large areas, prolonged use or occlusive use may increase systemic absorption (5.3) Local adverse reactions with topical steroids may include atrophy, striae, irritation, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation and allergic contact dermatitis and may be more likely to occur with occlusive use or more potent corticosteroids (5.3) Children may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity when treated with topical corticosteroids (5.1 , 8.4)
5.1Effect on Endocrine System Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids, including Fluocinonide Cream, can produce reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression with the potential for clinical glucocorticosteroid insufficiency. This may occur during treatment or upon withdrawal of the topical corticosteroid. In addition, the use of Fluocinonide Cream for longer than 2 weeks may suppress the immune system [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1) ] .
HPA axis suppression has been observed with Fluocinonide Cream, 0.1% applied once or twice daily in 2 out of 18 adult patients with plaque-type psoriasis, 1 out of 31 adult patients with atopic dermatitis and 4 out of 123 pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Because of the potential for systemic absorption, use of topical corticosteroids, including Fluocinonide Cream, may require that patients be periodically evaluated for HPA axis suppression.
Factors that predispose a patient using a topical corticosteroid to HPA axis suppression include the use of more potent steroids, use over large surface areas, use over prolonged periods, use under occlusion, use on an altered skin barrier, and use in patients with liver failure. An 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 gradually withdraw the drug, to reduce the frequency of application, or to substitute a less potent steroid.
Manifestations of adrenal insufficiency may require supplemental systemic corticosteroids. Recovery of HPA axis function is generally prompt and complete upon discontinuation of topical corticosteroids. Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and unmasking of latent diabetes mellitus can also result from systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids.
Use of more than one corticosteroid-containing product at the same time may increase the total systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids. Studies conducted in pediatric patients demonstrated reversible HPA axis suppression after use of Fluocinonide Cream. Pediatric patients may be more susceptible than adults to systemic toxicity from equivalent doses of Fluocinonide Cream due to their larger skin surface-to-body-mass ratios [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] .
5.2Local Adverse Reactions with Topical Corticosteroids Local adverse reactions may be more likely to occur with occlusive use, prolonged use or use of higher potency corticosteroids. Reactions may include atrophy, striae, telangiectasis, burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, secondary infection, and miliaria. Some local adverse reactions may be irreversible.
5.3Concomitant Skin Infections If concomitant skin infections are present or develop, an appropriate antifungal or antibacterial agent should be used. If a favorable response does not occur promptly, use of Fluocinonide Cream should be discontinued until the infection has been adequately…
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most commonly reported adverse reactions (≥1%) were headache, application site burning, nasopharyngitis, and nasal congestion. (6) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Amneal Pharmaceuticals at 1-877-835-5472 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. In clinical trials, a total of 443 adult subjects with atopic dermatitis or plaque-type psoriasis were treated once daily or twice daily with Fluocinonide Cream for 2 weeks. The most commonly observed adverse reactions in these clinical trials were as follows: Table 1: Most Commonly Observed Adverse Reactions ( ≥1%) in Adult Clinical Trials Adverse Reaction Fluocinonide Cream, once daily (n=216) Fluocinonide Cream, twice daily (n=227) Vehicle Cream, once or twice daily (n=211) Headache 8 (3.7%) 9 (4.0%) 6 (2.8%) Application Site Burning 5 (2.3%) 4 (1.8%) 14 (6.6%) Nasopharyngitis 2 (0.9%) 3 (1.3%) 3 (1.4%) Nasal Congestion 3 (1.4%) 1 (0.4%) 0 Safety in patients 12 to 17 years of age was similar to that observed in adults.
6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of Fluocinonide Cream: Administration Site Conditions: discoloration, erythema, irritation, pruritus, swelling, pain and condition aggravated. Immune System Disorders: hypersensitivity. Nervous System Disorders: headache and dizziness.
Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: acne, dry skin, rash, skin exfoliation and skin tightness. Because these 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.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category C There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Therefore, Fluocinonide Cream should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic in laboratory animals when administered systemically at relatively low dosage levels.
Some corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic after dermal application in laboratory animals.
8.3Nursing Mothers Systemically administered corticosteroids appear in human milk and could suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroid production, or cause other untoward effects. It is not known whether topical administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk. Nevertheless, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and efficacy of Fluocinonide Cream in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age have not been established; therefore use in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age is not recommended. HPA axis suppression was studied in 4 sequential cohorts of pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis covering at least 20% of the body surface area, treated once daily or twice daily with Fluocinonide Cream. The first cohort of 31 patients (mean 36.3% BSA) 12 to < 18 years old; the second cohort included 31 patients (mean 39.0% BSA) 6 to < 12 years old; the third cohort included 30 patients (mean 34.6% BSA) 2 to < 6 years old; the fourth cohort included 31 patients (mean 40.0% BSA) 3 months to < 2 years old.
Fluocinonide Cream caused HPA-axis suppression in 1 patient in the twice daily group in Cohort 1, 2 patients in the twice daily group in Cohort 2, and 1 patient in the twice daily group in Cohort 3. Follow-up testing 14 days after treatment discontinuation, available for all 4 suppressed patients, demonstrated a normally responsive HPA axis. Signs of skin atrophy were present at baseline and severity was not determined making it difficult to assess local skin safety.
Therefore, the safety of Fluocinonide Cream in patients younger than 12 years of age has not been demonstrated [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . HPA axis suppression has not been evaluated in patients with psoriasis who are less than 18 years of age. Because of a higher ratio of skin surface area to body mass, pediatric patients are at a greater risk than adults of HPA-axis suppression and Cushing’s syndrome when they are treated with topical corticosteroids.
They are therefore also at greater risk of adrenal insufficiency during or after withdrawal of treatment. Adverse effects including striae have been reported with inappropriate use of topical corticosteroids in infants and children. HPA-axis suppression, Cushing’s syndrome, linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, and intracranial hypertension have been reported in children receiving topical corticosteroids.
Manifestations of adrenal suppression in children include low plasma cortisol levels and absence of response to cosyntropin (ACTH 1-24 ) stimulation. Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema.
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of Fluocinonide Cream did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
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 of Fluocinonide Cream in corticosteroid responsive dermatoses is unknown.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Vasoconstrictor studies performed with Fluocinonide Cream in healthy subjects indicate that it is in the super-high range of potency as compared with other topical corticosteroids; however, similar blanching scores do not necessarily imply therapeutic equivalence. Application of Fluocinonide Cream twice daily for 14 days in 18 adult subjects with plaque-type psoriasis (10% to 50% BSA, mean 19.6% BSA) and 31 adult subjects (17 treated once daily; 14 treated twice daily) with atopic dermatitis (2% to 10% BSA, mean 5% BSA) showed demonstrable HPA-axis suppression in 2 subjects with psoriasis (with 12% and 25% BSA) and 1 subject with atopic dermatitis (treated once daily, 4% BSA) where the criterion for HPA-axis suppression is a serum cortisol level of less than or equal to 18 micrograms per deciliter 30 minutes after stimulation with cosyntropin (ACTH 1-24 ) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .
HPA-axis suppression following application of Fluocinonide Cream, 0.1% (once or twice daily) was also evaluated in 123 pediatric patients from 3 months to < 18 years of age with atopic dermatitis (mean BSA range 34.6 % to 40.0 %). HPA-axis suppression was observed in 4 patients in the twice daily groups. Follow-up testing 14 days after treatment discontinuation demonstrated a normally responsive HPA axis in all 4 suppressed patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Use in Specific populations (8.4) ] .
12.3Pharmacokinetics The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors including the vehicle and the integrity of the epidermal barrier. Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin may increase percutaneous absorption.
