Metosyn is a topical medication that contains the active ingredient fluocinonide, a potent corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness associated with various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Metosyn is suitable for adults and children over 1 year old with inflammatory skin conditions that have not responded well to milder treatments.
About Metosyn
Dosage and usage
For adults, apply a thin layer of Metosyn to the affected area 2-3 times a day. For children, the application should be limited to a maximum of 5 days. Avoid using Metosyn on your face unless instructed by your doctor. Do not cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing unless directed. If you accidentally swallow the medication, seek medical advice immediately.
What Metosyn contains
Each gram of Metosyn ointment contains 0.05 mg of fluocinonide as the active ingredient. The ointment also contains white soft paraffin, liquid paraffin, and propylene glycol as excipients.
Side effects
Common side effects of Metosyn may include burning, itching, or irritation at the application site. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include skin thinning, stretch marks, or changes in skin color. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual symptoms.
Precautions
Do not use Metosyn if you are allergic to fluocinonide or any other ingredients in the ointment. Avoid applying Metosyn to broken or infected skin. Tell your doctor about any skin conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or medications you are taking before using Metosyn. If you have a history of certain skin conditions or are using other topical medications, consult your doctor before using Metosyn.
