Diflorasone is a corticosteroid that comes in the form of a cream containing diflorasone diacetate. In Pharmacology, bioavailability is used to describe the fraction of an administered Dose of unchanged drug that reaches the Systemic circulation, one of Drug metabolism is the Metabolism of drugs, their Biochemical modification or degradation usually through specialized enzymatic systems The biological half-life of a substance is the time it takes for a substance (drug radioactive nuclide or other to lose half of its pharmacologic physiologic or radiologic activity Excretion is the process of eliminating waste products of Metabolism and other non-useful materials The pregnancy category of a pharmaceutical agent is an assessment of the risk of fetal injury due to the pharmaceutical if it is used as directed by the mother during The regulation of therapeutic goods, that is drugs and therapeutic devices, varies by jurisdiction In Pharmacology and Toxicology, a route According the drug's maker, E. Fougera & Co. , it is used for its anti-inflammatory and anti-itching qualities, like other topical corticosteroids. It is often prescribed for psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, and also for Hailey Hailey Disease (Familial Benign Pemphigus). Psoriasis (səˈraɪəsɪs ( suh-RI-uh-sus) is a non-contagious disorder which affects the Skin and Joints It commonly causes red scaly Atopic dermatitis, also known as atopic eczema, is a disease characterized by Chronic inflammation of the skin which is atopic, hereditary and non-contagious Familial benign pemphigus originally was described by the Hailey brothers in 1939 and is commonly called Hailey Hailey disease. and is considered to be of greater potency compared to other topical corticosteroids.
No long-term animal studies have been done to determine whether diflorasone could have carcinogenic properties.
Women who are breastfeeding their newborns should probably not use diflorasone since corticosteroids have been known to appear in breast milk and cause negative effects in a newborn, such as inhibited growth, but little data is available regarding whether topical corticosteroids like diflorasone would be present in great enough quantities to cause harm to an infant.
