Pregnancy Cat

Topical administration of corticosteroids to pregnant animals can cause abnormalities of fetal development, including cleft palate intrauterine growth retardation. There may be a small risk of such effects on the human fetus. When topical steroid treatment is necessary, minimize the amount and length of treatment.

Precautions

The appropriate anti-infective cover should be given in the presence of viral or fungal infection. Prolonged use should be avoided in conditions where absorption of neomycin is possible. Do not apply to the external auditory canal of patients with perforated eardrums. Long-term continuous topical steroid therapy can produce atrophic skin changes. Do not apply to the face for prolonged periods. Prolonged use or treatment of extensive areas can produce adrenal suppression, especially in infants and children.

Mode Of Action

Fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid primarily used in dermatology to reduce skin inflammation and relieve itching. It is a synthetic hydrocortisone derivative. Fluocinolone acetonide was also found to strongly potentiate TGF-β-associated chondrogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells, by increasing the levels of collagen type II by more than 100 fold compared to the widely used dexamethasone.Neomycin Sulfate actively transported across the bacterial cell membrane, binds to a specific receptor protein on the 30 S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, and interferes with an initiation complex between mRNA (messenger RNA) and the 30 S subunit, inhibiting protein synthesis.
