What is Amcinonide?
Amcinonide is a generic prescription topical steroid that relieves itching, swelling, and redness due to eczema, psoriasis, allergies, or other skin conditions that respond to steroids. Amcinonide is a generic drug but also the active ingredient in Cyclocort.
Amcinonide is a corticosteroid, that is, a steroid that reduces swelling. Corticosteroids work mainly by blocking the immune response to an irritant. The immune system produces chemicals that cause swelling. These chemicals also cause the affected area to fill with white blood cells, which begin dividing rapidly, making the swelling worse. These chemicals also cause the blood vessels to widen so that the area fills with fluids and blood. All of these mechanisms for producing swelling are called the “inflammation response.”
Besides blocking the immune system's production of these inflammatory substances, corticosteroids like Amcinonide tighten the small blood vessels, resulting in less blood flow to the swollen area. The overall effect is to reduce swelling and, as a result, the pain, itching, redness, and general discomfort of steroid-responsive skin conditions.
Amcinonide comes as a cream, ointment, or lotion. Amcinonide is applied directly to the affected area.
What are the side effects of Amcinonide?
Most side effects of Amcinonide occur on the skin where it has been applied and include itching, burning, stinging, dryness, infection, swollen hair follicles, changes in skin color, stretch marks, pimples, rash, and wrinkling. Topical steroids can be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream, so system-wide side effects may occur, such as eye problems, swelling, weight gain, abdominal pain, puffiness, and high blood sugar. Allergic reactions are rare, but you should discontinue Amcinonide if you notice a rash, hives, swelling, or any other sign of an allergic reaction.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. If you have questions about side effects, consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
