GENERAL PRECAUTIONS SECTION.
General: Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids can produce reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression with the potential for glucocorticosteroid insufficiency after withdrawal of treatment. Manifestations of Cushings syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria can also be produced in some patients by systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids while on treatment.Patients applying topical steroid to large surface area or to areas under occlusion should be evaluated periodically for evidence of HPA axis suppression. This may be done by using the ACTH stimulation, A.M. plasma cortisol, and urinary free cortisol tests.If HPA axis suppression is noted, an attempt should be made to withdraw the drug, to reduce the frequency of application, or to substitute less potent corticosteroid. Infrequently, signs and symptoms of glucocorticoid insufficiency may occur requiring supplemental systemic corticosteroids. For information on systemic supplementation, see prescribing information for those products.Children may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity from equivalent doses due to their larger skin surface to body mass ratios. (See PRECAUTIONS-Pediatric use)Allergic contact dermatitis to any component of topical corticosteroids is usually diagnosed by failure to heal rather than noting clinical exacerbation, which may occur with most topical products not containing corticosteroids. Such an observation should be corroborated with appropriate diagnostic testing. One peanut sensitive child experienced flare of his atopic dermatitis after days of twice daily treatment with Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil (See CLINICAL STUDIES section).If wheal and flare type reactions (which may be limited to pruritus) or other manifestations of hypersensitivity develop, Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil should be discontinued immediately and appropriate therapy instituted.If concomitant skin infections are present or develop, an appropriate antifungal or antibacterial agent should be used. If favorable response does not occur promptly, use of Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil should be discontinued until the infection has been adequately controlled.Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil is formulated with 48% refined peanut oil NF. Peanut oil used in this product is routinely tested for peanut proteins through amino acid analysis; the quantity of amino acids is below 0.5 parts per million.Physicians should use caution in prescribing Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil for peanutsensitive individuals.

ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION.
ADVERSE REACTIONS. The following local adverse reactions have been reported infrequently with topical corticosteroids. They may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings, especially with higher potency corticosteroids. These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, secondary infection, skin atrophy, striae, and miliaria. One peanut sensitive child experienced flare of his atopic dermatitis after days of twice daily treatment with Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil.A post marketing (open-label) safety study was conducted in 58 children to evaluate the local safety of Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil when applied twice daily for weeks to the face in children (2 to 12 years) with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (see Table of Incidence of Adverse Events).Incidence of Adverse Events (%) N=58Adverse Event (AE)The number of individual adverse events reported does not necessarily reflect the number of individual subjects, since one subject could have multiple reporting of an adverse event. of patients (%)Day 14Day 28End of TreatmentDay 56Four Weeks Post TreatmentAny AE15 (25.9)6 (10.3)7 (12.1)7 (12.1)Telangiectasia5 (8.6)3 (5.2)4 (6.9)2 (3.5)Erythema3 (5.2)3 (5.2)Itching3 (5.2)3 (5.2)Irritation3 (5.2)3 (5.2)Burning3 (5.2)3 (5.2)Hypopigmentation2 (3.5)2 (3.5)Shiny skin1 (1.7)1 (1.7)Secondary atopic dermatitis1 (1.7)1 (1.7)Papules and pustules1 (1.7)1 (1.7)Keratosis pilaris1 (1.7)1 (1.7)Folliculitis1 (1.7)1 (1.7)Facial herpes simplex1 (1.7)1 (1.7)Acneiform eruption1 (1.7)1 (1.7)Ear infection1 (1.7)1 (1.7).

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. Like other topical corticosteroids, fluocinolone acetonide has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. The mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of the topical steroids, in general, is unclear. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2.. Pharmacokinetics: The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors including the vehicle and the integrity of the epidermal barrier. Occlusion of topical corticosteroids can enhance penetration. Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Also, inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin can increase percutaneous absorption.Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil is in the low to medium range of potency as compared with other topical corticosteroids.. CLINICAL STUDIES. In vehicle-controlled study for the treatment of psoriasis of the scalp in adults, after 21 days of treatment, 60% of patients on active treatment and 21% of patients on the drug vehicle had excellent to cleared clinical response.Open-label safety studies on 33 children (20 subjects ages to years, 13 subjects ages to 12 years) with moderate to severe stable atopic dermatitis, and baseline body surface area involvement greater than 75% in 18 patients, and 50% to 75% in 15 patients, were treated with Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil twice daily for weeks. Morning pre-stimulation cortisol level and post-Cortrosyn stimulation cortisol level were obtained in each subject at the beginning of the trial and at the end of weeks of treatment. At the end of treatment, out of 18 subjects aged to years showed low pre-stimulation cortisol levels (3.2 to 6.6 ug/dL; normal: cortisol 7 ug/dL) but all had normal responses to 0.25 mg of Cortrosyn stimulation (cortisol 18 ug/dL).A clinical study was conducted to assess the safety of Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil, which contains refined peanut oil, on subjects with known peanut allergies. The study enrolled 13 patients with atopic dermatitis, to 17 years of age. Of the 13 patients, were Radioallergosorbent Test (RAST) positive to peanuts and had no peanut sensitivity (controls). The study evaluated the responses to both prick test and patch test utilizing refined peanut oil NF, Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil and histamine/saline controls, on the 13 individuals. These subjects were also treated with Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil twice daily for days. Prick test and patch test results for all 13 patients were negative to Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil and the refined peanut oil. One of the peanut-sensitive patients experienced an exacerbation of atopic dermatitis after days of Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil use. Importantly, the bulk peanut oil NF, used in Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil is heated at 475 for at least 15 minutes, which should provide for adequate decomposition of allergenic proteins.

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.
Pediatric Use: Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil may be used twice daily for up to weeks in pediatric patients years and older with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil should not be applied to the diaper area.Application to intertriginous areas should be avoided due to the increased possibility of local adverse events such as striae, atrophy, and telangiectasia, which may be irreversible. The smallest amount of drug needed to cover the affected areas should be applied. Long term safety in the pediatric population has not been established.Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil is not recommended for use on the face (see ADVERSE REACTIONS section).Because of higher ratio of skin surface area to body mass, children are at greater risk than adults of HPA-axis-suppression when they are treated with topical corticosteroids. They are therefore also at greater risk of glucocorticosteroid insufficiency after withdrawal of treatment and of Cushings syndrome while on treatment. Adverse effects including striae have been reported with inappropriate use of topical corticosteroids in infants and children. (see PRECAUTIONS).HPA axis suppression, Cushings syndrome, and intracranial hypertension have been reported in children receiving topical corticosteroids. Children may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity from equivalent doses due to their larger skin surface to body mass ratios. Manifestations of adrenal suppression in children include linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, low plasma cortisol levels, and absence of response to ACTH stimulation. Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema.Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil is formulated with 48% refined peanut oil NF. Peanut oil used in this product is routinely tested for peanut proteins through amino acid analysis; the quantity of amino acids is below 0.5 parts per million. Physicians should use caution in prescribing Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01% Topical Oil for peanut sensitive individuals.
