Effectiveness

How Amcinonide Affects PatientsAmcinonide is a type of steroid medicine used to reduce inflammation and reduce itching. The exact way it works is unknown, but scientists believe it helps control certain chemicals in the body that cause swelling and irritation. It usually comes as an ointment, and can also help the skin stay hydrated.
How Amcinonide works in the bodyTopical steroids, like amcinonide, reduce inflammation. It is believed that this is achieved by blocking the release of arachidonic acid, which is a precursor for inflammatory molecules like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Amcinonide has a strong affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor but only weak affinity for progesterone, mineralocorticoid, estrogen, and androgen receptors.
