Pharmacological properties
Glucocorticosteroids (GCS) for local (external) use have anti-inflammatory, epidermal, antiallergic, immunosuppressive and local anesthetic effects. The anti-inflammatory effect is accompanied by vasoconstriction, a decrease in itching and pain at the site of application, a violation of the migration of lymphocytes and macrophages in the focus of inflammation. GCS have an antimitotic and antiproliferative effect. An important aspect of the anti-inflammatory action of GCS is the stimulation of the formation of lipocortin, which reduces the formation of arachidonic acid and thereby reduces the formation of mediators of inflammation and allergy. Stabilization of cell membranes plays an essential role in the mechanism of action of GCS. When applied to the skin, it practically does not have systemic glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid effects.
