MANUFACTURER: Atco Lab Pharma (Pvt) Ltd

QUANTITY:

60ml lotion

INDICATION

Advacort Lotion 60ml is a non-halogenated corticosteroid preparation indicated for the topical treatment of steroid-responsive inflammatory skin conditions including atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis. The lotion formulation is particularly suited for application to hairy areas of the scalp and body, intertriginous areas, and patients who prefer a lighter, non-greasy topical preparation. It provides effective anti-inflammatory and antipruritic relief with a favorable safety profile compared to older halogenated corticosteroids.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Methylprednisolone aceponate is a double-ester non-halogenated glucocorticoid prodrug that is rapidly hydrolyzed in the skin to its active metabolite methylprednisolone 17-propionate. It binds to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors in dermal and epidermal cells, modulating gene transcription to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes. This suppresses the inflammatory cascade responsible for oedema, redness, itching, and scaling in inflammatory skin conditions. Its non-halogenated structure and high receptor affinity result in potent topical anti-inflammatory activity with reduced risk of skin atrophy, striae, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression compared to older fluorinated corticosteroids.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

•      Apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily

•      Gently massage into the skin until absorbed; avoid applying to normal skin

•      For the scalp, apply to the affected areas and gently rub in

•      Do not use for longer than 4 weeks without reassessment by your dermatologist; avoid prolonged use on the face

SIDE EFFECTS

Common:

•      Burning and stinging on application

•      Skin dryness

•      Mild skin erythema at the application site

•      Folliculitis with prolonged use

Less common:

•      Skin atrophy, striae, and telangiectasia with prolonged application (less likely than with halogenated steroids)

•      Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal suppression with extensive or prolonged use, particularly in children

•      Perioral dermatitis with facial use

•      Secondary bacterial or fungal skin infection (masking of signs)

NOT RECOMMENDED IN

•      Known hypersensitivity to methylprednisolone aceponate or other corticosteroids

•      Bacterial, viral, or fungal skin infections without adequate antimicrobial cover

•      Acne rosacea, perioral dermatitis, and skin atrophy

•      Not for use near eyes; ophthalmic preparations are required for eyelid conditions

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Topical corticosteroids have minimal systemic absorption under normal use and therefore have limited pharmacokinetic drug interactions. Occlusive dressings significantly increase systemic absorption and should only be used under medical supervision. Do not apply to abraded or broken skin as this dramatically increases absorption.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Store below 25°C away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep in original container. Keep out of reach of children.
