How Dermotic Affects Patients
Fluocinolone acetonide is a medication used to reduce inflammation. It is usually given as a tiny implant that is injected into the eye. Clinical trials have shown that the implant can reduce the risk of uveitis flares by twofold over six months when compared to not taking the medication. It may also cause a slight increase in intraocular pressure, so it is important to monitor this.
How Dermotic works in the body
Fluocinolone acetonide is a type of corticosteroid that works to reduce inflammation. It binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, which helps it move into the cell nucleus. There, it binds to other proteins and stops them from releasing arachidonic acid, which is a precursor to inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This prevents these molecules from being released, reducing inflammation.
