Alclometasone Dipropionate and Inapsine

• Generic Name: alclometasone topical
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Aclovate

Relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.

Generally most effective in acute or chronic dermatoses (e.g., seborrheic or atopic dermatitis, localized neurodermatitis, anogenital pruritus, psoriasis, late phase of allergic contact dermatitis, inflammatory phase of xerosis).

Topical therapy generally preferred over systemic therapy; fewer associated adverse systemic effects.

Topical therapy generally only controls manifestations of dermatoses; eliminate cause if possible.

Topical efficacy may be increased by using a higher concentration or occlusive dressing therapy. (See Administration with Occlusive Dressing under Dosage and Administration.)

Response may vary from one topical corticosteroid preparation to another.

Anti-inflammatory activity may vary considerably depending on the vehicle, drug concentration, site of application, disease, and individual patient.

Manufacturers state that alclometasone should not be used for the treatment of acne, rosacea, or perioral dermatitis.

Alclometasone dipropionate 0.05% cream and ointment are considered to have low-to-medium range potency.
