Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.

Absorption: When fluocinolone is used over extensive areas for prolonged periods and under dressings that don't breathe, it is possible that enough medication will absorb into the bloodstream to give rise to unwanted side effects. Therefore, it is advisable to use fluocinolone for brief periods only and to stop using it as soon as the problem clears.

Adverse effects: Although adverse effects associated with the use of this medication are uncommon and not to be expected from ordinary use, sensitization, irritation, and failure of therapeutic response have been noticed in rare instances. If you don't notice an improvement in your skin condition after using this medication for one week, contact your doctor.

Eyes: Use this medication with caution on lesions close to the eye. Take care to ensure that it does not enter the eye, as glaucoma may result. Cataracts have been reported following internal use of corticosteroids.

Infection: Topical corticosteroids may increase the risk of developing a skin infection. Contact your doctor if you notice any increased redness, swelling, heat or pain around the area where the medication is applied as these are possible signs of infection.

Peanut allergy: This medication contains refined peanut oil. People with peanut allergy should discuss with their doctor how this medication may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Thinning of skin: Using topical corticosteroid medications for a long period of time can cause skin to thin or soften or cause stretch marks. Your doctor may recommend you stop using this medication once in a while or to apply to one area of the body at a time. Suddenly stopping corticosteroid medication may cause psoriasis to return.

Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: This medication may pass into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking fluocinolone acetonide, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.

Children: The safety and effectiveness of using fluocinolone acetonide topical oil have not been established for children under 1 year old. The safety and effectiveness of fluocinolone acetonide ear drops has not been established in children under 12 years old.

The active ingredient in these medications, fluocinolone, belongs to the family of medications known as corticosteroids. Children may be more likely to experience the side effects encountered by using large amounts of this class of medication for long periods of time (e.g., slowing down of growth, delayed weight gain). The use of this medication by children should be limited to the smallest amount that will be effective. Discuss with your doctor the risks and benefits of the use of this medication by children. The use of this medication on children should be limited to a 4 week duration.

There may be an interaction between fluocinolone acetonide and any of the following:

• other topical medications that contain corticosteroids
• other topical medications that have irritating effects

If you are using any medications that fit this description, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:

• stop taking one of the medications,
• change one of the medications to another,
• change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
• leave everything as is.

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription) and herbal medications that you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or illegal drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Shampoo: Approximately one ounce (about 30 mL) or less of shampoo should be applied to wet hair and scalp once daily. Work into a lather and leave on the scalp for 5 minutes before rinsing twice with clear water.

Otic (ear) solution: Tilt the head so the affected ear is facing up. Gently pull the earlobe backward and upward to open the ear canal. Apply 5 drops of solution into the ear and keep head tilted for one minute to let the drops run into the ear canal. This should be repeated twice daily. Improvement should occur within 7 days. Contact your physician if your condition does not begin to improve within 7 days.

Do not use the ear solution if the eardrum is perforated.

Oil: After wetting or dampening the affected area, apply a thin film of oil 2 to 3 times daily as prescribed by your doctor. Massage the oil into the skin gently.

The affected area should not be covered with dressings that do not allow the skin to breathe, including diapers when applied to small children. This medication should not be applied to the face, groin, or underarm areas. Applying the oil to these areas may cause enough medication to be absorbed into the body to cause side effects.

Use the oil for the minimum length of time necessary to heal the skin condition.

Avoid getting this medication into your eyes. If contact does occur, flush your eyes immediately with plenty of water.

If you have to undergo a major elective surgery, you should advise your surgeon that you are taking DEMULEN. You should consult your doctor about stopping the use of DEMULEN four weeks before surgery and not use DEMULEN for a time period after surgery or during bed rest.

Tell your doctor if you are scheduled for any laboratory tests since certain blood tests may be affected by hormonal contraceptives.

DEMULEN should be used only under the supervision of a doctor, with regular follow-up to identify side effects associated with its use. Your visits may include a blood pressure check, a breast exam, an abdominal exam and a pelvic exam, including a Pap smear. Visit your doctor three months or sooner after the initial examination. Afterward, visit your doctor at least once a year. Use DEMULEN only on the advice of your doctor and carefully follow all directions given to you. You must use the birth control pill exactly as prescribed. Otherwise, you may become pregnant.

Breakthrough bleeding/spotting may occur while you are taking an oral contraceptive, especially during the first three months of use. If this bleeding persists or recurs, you should advise your doctor. Women with history of amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods) or oligomenorrhea (irregular or infrequent menstrual periods) may remain anovulatory or become amenorrheic following discontinuation of oral contraceptives.

Some users of birth control pills have unpleasant side effects. These side effects are temporary and are not hazardous to health. There may be tenderness of the breasts, nausea, and vomiting. Some users will experience weight gain or loss. Many of these side effects occurred with high dose combination birth control pills. These side effects are less common with the low dose pills prescribed today.

Unexpected vaginal bleeding or spotting and changes in the usual menstrual period also may occur. These side effects usually disappear after the first few cycles. They are NOT an indication to stop taking birth control pills. Unless more significant complications occur, a decision to stop using the pill or to change the brand of pill should be made only after three consecutive months of use.

Occasionally, users develop high blood pressure that may require stopping the use of birth control pills. High blood pressure may persist after stopping the pill and may lead to serious disease of the kidney and circulatory system.

Other side effects may include:

• growth of pre-existing fibroid tumours of the uterus

• mental depression

• liver problems with jaundice (yellowing of the skin)

• an increase or decrease in hair growth (hirsutism, loss of scalp hair), sex drive and appetite

• skin pigmentation

• headaches

• migraines

• rash

• vaginal infections

Infrequently, there is a need to change contact lens prescription or an inability to use contact lenses.

A woman's menstrual period may be delayed after stopping birth control pills. There is no evidence that the use of the pill leads to a decrease in fertility. As mentioned, it is wise to delay starting a pregnancy for one menstrual period after stopping birth control pills.
