Table of contents:

Lidex solution is a topical medication used to treat various skin conditions, including eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, allergies, and rash. It reduces swelling, itching, and redness that can occur in these types of conditions.

Lidex solution contains the active ingredient fluocinonide, which is a strong corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system, which can help to alleviate symptoms such as swelling, redness, and itching. More specifically, fluocinonide works by binding to certain receptors in the body that are involved in the inflammatory response, thereby inhibiting the production and release of certain chemicals that cause inflammation and immune activation.

Lidex solution is only available with a prescription and should only be used as directed by a medical professional.

Use and Dosage

Fluocinonide Solution is available in a concentration of 0.05% and is applied to the affected area of the skin as directed by a healthcare professional. It usually is applied one to four times a day. It is only for use on the skin. Do not let fluocinonide topical get into your eyes or mouth and do not swallow it. Avoid use on the face, in the genital and rectal areas, and in skin creases and armpits unless directed by your doctor.

  1. You should first clean and dry the affected area.
