AB |PrintTopical  Corticosteroids  at  a  GlanceMost  frequently  prescribed  of  all  dermatologic  drug  products.Are  effective  at  reducing  the  symptoms  of  inflammation,  but  do  not  address  the  underlying  cause  of  the  disease.Topical  glucocorticoid  research  has  focused  on  strategies  to  optimize  potency  while  minimizing  side  effects.The  new  molecules  have  an  overall  higher  anti-inflammatory  effect,  good  compliance  (only  once  daily  application),  rarely  induce  cross-sensitivity  reactions  and  have  weak  atrophogenic  properties.
