1. What is Flunutrac and what is it used for

Flunutrac cream 0.05% belongs to the group of medicines known as corticosteroids which, when
used locally, are characterized by a high anti-inflammatory power.
Fluticasone is a potent corticosteroid that is applied to the skin to treat a wide
range of inflammatory skin conditions. It is used to relieve inflammation, redness and itching associated with various non-infectious skin conditions and sensitive to
corticosteroids.

2. What you need to know before using Flunutrac

Do not use Flunutrac

• If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to fluticasone or any of the excipients of Flunutrac (listed in section 6).
• If you suffer from rosacea (redness and inflammation of the facial skin), common acne or perioral dermatitis (redness from inflammation around the mouth).
• If you suffer from viral skin infections (e.g. herpes simplex or varicella).
• If you suffer from genital or perianal itching (itching near the anus and genitals).
• If you suffer from skin ulcers, atrophy (thinning of the skin) or fragility of the skin vessels.
• If you suffer from ichthyosis (disorders characterized by dryness and scaling of the skin).
• If you suffer from juvenile dermatosis (all skin conditions characterized by inflammation) or dermatosis in children under 1 year of age, including dermatitis (skin inflammation) and diaper rash.
• If you suffer from ulcerative lesions.
• If you suffer from skin lesions infected by fungal or bacterial infections.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Flunutrac:

• If you are pregnant or think you may be, if you are breastfeeding (see section Pregnancy and breastfeeding).
• If you use this medicine on large areas of the body for prolonged periods, particularly in the treatment of children, as this may increase the absorption of the product and the risk of toxicity.
• If you use the product on the face, as this may induce atrophic changes (e.g. thinning of the skin). It is important to avoid getting the cream into your eyes.
• If you use the medicine on parts of the body covered. Do not use the product with occlusive dressings; the treated area must be exposed to the air and must not be covered by dressings, tight clothing or similar. In newborns, the diaper can act as an occlusive dressing. You must wash the skin before changing the dressing.
• If the doctor has prescribed a cream for the treatment of psoriasis. At periodic intervals, consult your attending physician who will assess the progress of your condition.
• If you are using other products (including cosmetics) on the affected skin areas, as these could negatively affect the activity of the medicine. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor.

Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.

Children:
Do not use the product in children under 1 year of age.
If symptoms do not improve after one or two weeks of treatment, inform your doctor.
When you notice an improvement in skin condition (usually within one to two weeks), reduce the frequency of applications. Continuous daily treatment for more than 4 weeks is not recommended.
Flunutrac should be used in children only to relieve skin inflammation, redness and itching from atopic dermatitis and under the supervision of a specialist doctor.
Before using Flunutrac in other types of childhood dermatoses, consult a dermatologist.

Other medicines and Flunutrac
Tell your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including those without a prescription.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding and fertility
Ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you think you may be pregnant or if you are planning a pregnancy.
Pregnancy
Flunutrac should be used during pregnancy only if the expected benefits for the mother outweigh the possible risks to the fetus.
Breastfeeding
It is not known whether fluticasone is excreted in breast milk. Flunutrac should be used during breastfeeding only if the expected benefits for the mother outweigh the possible risks to the fetus.

Driving and operating machinery
There is no evidence that fluticasone negatively affects the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery.

Flunutrac contains cetostearyl alcohol, imidurea and propylene glycol
This product contains cetostearyl alcohol which may induce local skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis).
This product contains the preservative imidurea, which decomposes and releases a very small amount of a chemical called formaldehyde. When applied to the skin, formaldehyde can cause allergic reactions such as skin reactions or itching.
This product contains propylene glycol, which may irritate the skin.

3. How to use Flunutrac

Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dosage for your condition.
When using Flunutrac, always follow your doctor's instructions. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor or the
pharmacist.
For adults and children from one year of age, apply a thin film of Flunutrac to the affected
skin areas one or two times a day, unless otherwise indicated by your doctor. Ask your doctor
for information on the duration of treatment.
In some conditions (psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, etc.), abrupt discontinuation of
treatment is not recommended as the number of applications should be reduced gradually.
Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
In case of relapse and recurrence of symptoms, your doctor will indicate the appropriate dosage.
The usual dosage is one application per day, two days a week.
In some skin conditions, such as psoriasis or atopic dermatitis, it is not recommended to interrupt the
treatment. Ask your doctor for the best way to achieve optimal results.
Instructions for use:

• 1. Wash your hands.
• 2. Apply a thin layer of cream and massage gently until it disappears completely.
• 3. Wash your hands unless the cream is used to treat them.

If skin problems do not improve after one or two weeks of treatment, inform your doctor.

If you use more Flunutrac than you should
If you have used more Flunutrac than you should, especially in the treatment of children,
wash the affected areas thoroughly to remove all the cream and contact your doctor or
pharmacist. In case of accidental ingestion, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

If you forget to use Flunutrac
Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
If you forget to apply the cream, apply the correct dose when you remember or, if it is the
time for the next application, wait for it to apply the product.

If you stop using Flunutrac
Do not stop treatment even if you feel better, unless your doctor tells you to.
If you have any doubts about the use of the product, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
