Effectiveness
How Derma-Smoothe/Fs Affects Patients
Fluocinolone acetonide is a medication used to reduce inflammation. When used in the eyes, it comes in the form of a small implant. Studies have found that the implant can reduce the recurrence of uveitis flares by two times compared to those without the implant, even after six months. It can also increase the pressure inside the eye slightly, so it is important to monitor this closely.
How Derma-Smoothe/Fs works in the body
Fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by binding to the glucocorticoid receptor. This triggers a reaction that causes the cell to produce proteins called lipocortins, which block the release of arachidonic acid. This is a precursor for inflammation-causing molecules like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. By blocking these molecules, fluocinolone can reduce inflammation.
