Fludroxycortide is classed as a moderately potent topical corticosteroid.
After you finish using Fludroxycortide, continue to use your moisturiser every day.
If you are using Fludroxycortide for psoriasis, make sure you follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
Fludroxycortide should not be used for long
periods of time or on large areas of the body, especially in children.
Short courses of Fludroxycortide may also be prescribed for the treatment
of psoriasis for areas such as the face, or the inside of elbows and behind the knees.
If your child has been prescribed Fludroxycortide, follow the directions you have been given very carefully,
and do not use it for longer than you have been told to.
Although side-effects from moderately potent corticosteroids like Fludroxycortide are rare,
you can reduce the risk further by applying the preparation thinly, no more than twice a day, and to the affected areas only.
