This product is a fluoride-containing glucocorticoid. Topical application can constrict dermal capillaries. Since it can inhibit DNA synthesis and affect cell metabolism, it can inhibit the proliferation or regeneration of epidermal cells. It can also inhibit the new generation of fibroblasts and the production of pigment cells in connective tissue. It can also stabilize the intracellular lysosomal membrane to prevent tissue damage caused by the release of histamine by intracellular lysosomal enzymes, and is easily absorbed from the skin for external use.
Use this medication on the skin only. Cependant, do not use it on the face, groin, or underarms unless directed to do so by your doctor.
