Indications & Clinical Uses

Modrasone, a topical corticosteroid, is indicated for inflammatory skin disorders.

  • Eczema: reduces redness, itching and swelling.
  • Atopic dermatitis: controls flare‑ups and improves skin barrier function.
  • Contact dermatitis: alleviates allergic skin reactions.
  • Psoriasis (mild to moderate): softens plaques and diminishes scaling.
  • Other inflammatory skin disorders: provides anti‑inflammatory relief in conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis.

How It Works

  • Alclometasone dipropionate penetrates the epidermis and binds to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors. This complex translocates to the nucleus, where it modulates gene transcription, suppressing pro‑inflammatory cytokines, inhibiting leukocyte migration, and reducing fibroblast proliferation, thereby exerting anti‑inflammatory, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative effects in the skin.

Side Effects

Topical corticosteroids can cause local and systemic reactions, although many patients tolerate them well.

Common Side Effects

  • Skin irritation or burning at the application site.
  • Mild itching or dryness.
  • Temporary erythema.
  • Folliculitis.
  • Acneiform eruptions.
  • Hypertrichosis (increased hair growth).

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Skin atrophy or thinning with prolonged use.
  • Telangiectasia (visible small blood vessels).
  • Secondary bacterial, fungal or viral skin infections.
  • Hypersensitivity reactions such as contact dermatitis.
  • Systemic adrenal suppression when large areas are treated.
  • Cushingoid appearance with extensive or high‑dose application.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Modrasone, consider the following precautions.

  • Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional; risk–benefit assessment is required.
  • Breastfeeding: discuss with a physician; limited data are available.
  • Children: use the lowest effective potency and limit duration.
  • Long‑term use: monitor for skin atrophy, striae, and systemic effects.
  • Occlusive dressings: avoid unless directed, as they increase absorption.
  • Store below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Topical corticosteroids may interact with other agents applied to the skin or systemic drugs.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use of potent systemic steroids: may increase systemic corticosteroid load.
  • Antifungal or antibacterial creams containing potent irritants: can exacerbate skin irritation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Skin‑lightening agents (hydroquinone): may increase risk of irritation.
  • Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (topical NSAIDs): monitor for additive irritation.
  • Systemic CYP3A4 inhibitors: may modestly raise systemic exposure if large skin areas are treated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Modrasone is a prescription topical corticosteroid indicated for inflammatory skin disorders such as eczema, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, mild to moderate psoriasis, and other similar conditions where reduction of redness, itching and swelling is desired.

Alclometasone dipropionate penetrates the epidermis and binds to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors. The drug‑receptor complex alters gene transcription, suppressing pro‑inflammatory cytokines, reducing leukocyte migration, and inhibiting fibroblast proliferation, which together provide anti‑inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects.

The appropriate dose and frequency of Modrasone are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the severity of the condition, the area of skin involved, and patient‑specific factors. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.

Safety data for alclometasone dipropionate in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and always under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider.

To order Modrasone, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and necessary import documentation.

Alclometasone dipropionate is a mid‑potency corticosteroid, offering stronger anti‑inflammatory activity than low‑potency agents like hydrocortisone 1% while generally having a lower risk of skin atrophy than high‑potency steroids. Choice of therapy depends on disease severity, body area treated and physician assessment.

Store Modrasone below 25 °C in its original packaging, protecting it from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Keep the container tightly closed and keep out of reach of children.

Apply a thin layer of the cream or ointment to the affected skin area once or twice daily, as directed by the prescriber. Gently rub in until fully absorbed, and wash hands after application unless the hands are being treated.

Serious risks include skin atrophy, telangiectasia, secondary skin infections, systemic adrenal suppression with extensive use, and rare hypersensitivity reactions. Patients should report signs of thinning skin, unusual bruising, or systemic symptoms such as fatigue or weakness to their healthcare provider promptly.

Modrasone should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to alclometasone dipropionate or any formulation excipients, in untreated fungal, viral or bacterial skin infections, and in patients with severe skin atrophy or uncontrolled systemic infections unless directed by a physician.
