The study in intact pig ear skin demonstrated a four-fold and a three-fold increase in the penetration of fusidic acid and betamethasone, respectively, from the lipid-based cream compared with the existing product. In the study using intact and barrierimpaired skin, the intact skin also showed greater penetration from the new formulation but there was no significant difference between the two creams for the barrier-impaired skin. For both formulations, the penetration through barrier-impaired skin was significantly greater than through intact skin. Toxicology Six male rabbits were treated once daily for three weeks with 100mg of Fucibet Lipid Cream and vehicle cream. The treated area was not occluded. The skin was examined daily for erythematous reactions and the skin-fold thickness was measured once weekly. At termination, the skin was examined histopathologically. Both the vehicle and drug-containing lipid creams were tolerated. Slight effects on skin thickening were seen generally. Those with the vehicle cream were greater than with the drug-containing cream; this is suggestive of a mild irritant effect of the vehicle that was negligible when betamethasone was present in the formulation. It was concluded that repeated topical non-occlusive treatment of rabbits once daily for three weeks induced minimal skin irritation that was ascribed to the vehicle. It is well known that systemic absorption of significant amounts of corticosteroids can cause suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. It is argued that the absorption from the new Fucibet Lipid Cream is not likely to differ from that of the existing formulation in barrier-impaired skin although higher absorption is possible through intact skin. Since treatment will be discontinued when the skin heals and is recommended for two weeks only, it is concluded that the risk of systemic toxicity is low. Assessor's comment The conclusion that the amount of percutaneously absorbed drugs from the lipidbased cream is unlikely to differ from the currently marketed product Fucibet Cream in barrier-impaired skin is supported by the data. The argument regarding the likelihood of systemic toxicity being low is accepted and there is considerable clinical experience with Fucibet Cream. EXCIPIENTS IMPURITIES RESIDUAL SOLVENTS The excipients are all commonly used in topical formulations and comply with the European Pharmacopoeia. The related substances in fusidic acid have been shown to have acute toxicity profiles similar to that of fusidic acid. The impurities and residual solvents in both drug substances are present in amounts compliant with the relevant ICH Notes for Guidance. ENVIRONMENTAL RISK ASSESSMENT The applicant has calculated Predicted Environmental Concentrations PEC ; in surface water for both active ingredients that have triggered a Phase II environmental effect analysis for both actives, although the assessor felt that only fusidic acid required further analysis. The further analyses were conducted and the final risk 10 and butenafine.

Generally not accepted by patients because of their greasy feel and shiny appearance. Emollients should be applied to the skin as often as necessary in order to achieve good moisturising effect. Examples of moisturisers are Diprobase cream, E45 cream, and Epaderm. Keratolytic agents Salicylic acid is the most widely used keratolytic agent in psoriasis. It softens the scaly layers of psoriatic plaques and eases their removal. It is applied to palms, soles and the scalp in concentrations of 210 per cent. Salicylic acid is used alone, as Lassar's zinc and salicylic acid ; paste or in combination with corticosteroids to enhance penetration of the latter and improve clinical efficacy.5 For example, salicylic acid is combined with 0.05 per cent betamethasone dipropionate in Diprosalic for the treatment of psoriasis at a maximum dose of 60g per week Diprosalic scalp application contains 2 per cent salicylic acid, while Diprosalic ointment contains 3 per cent ; . Salicylic acid is an irritant and, when used extensively at high concentrations, can lead to salicylate toxicity. Topical coal tar Coal tar is still used in many different formulations, ranging from ointments to shampoos, in the management of chronic psoriasis despite concerns about its safety. Coal tar contains thousands of different chemical compounds and its precise mechanism of action is not known. Nevertheless, it does demonstrate antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory actions. There is published evidence of its efficacy in psoriasis. In one study comparing coal tar and emollients, a 48 per cent improvement was seen in the coal tar group compared with a 35 per cent and mupirocin.
EFFECTS ON ABILITY TO DRIVE AND USE MACHINES Not applicable UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS Prolonged and intensive treatment with potent corticosteroids may cause local atrophic changes in the skin, including striae, thinning and dilation of superficial blood vessels, particularly when applied to the flexures or when occlusion is employed. As with other topical corticosteroids sufficient systemic absorption to produce hypercorticism can occur with prolonged or extensive use. Children are at particular risk. Hypersensitivity reactions to fusidic acid are rare and Fucibet Lipid cream does not contain lanolin. However, if signs of hypersensitivity occur, treatment should be withdrawn. OVERDOSE Not applicable PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES PHARMACODYNAMIC PROPERTIES Fucibet Lipid cream combines the well-known anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects of betamethasone with the potent topical antibacterial action of fusidic acid. Betamethasone valerate is a topical steroid rapidly effective in those inflammatory dermatoses which normally respond to this form of therapy. More refractory conditions can often be treated successfully. When applied topically, fusidic acid is effective against Staphyloccus aureus, Streptococci, Corynebacteria, Neisseria and certain Clostridia and Bacteroides. Concentrations of 0.03 to 0.12 microgram per ml inhibit nearly all strains of S. aureus. The antibacterial activity of fusidic acid is not diminished in the presence of betamethasone. PHARMACOKINETIC PROPERTIES There are no data which define the pharmacokinetics of Fucibet Lipid cream, following topical administration in man. However, in vitro studies show that fusidic acid can penetrate intact human skin. The degree of penetration depends on factors such as the duration of exposure to fusidic acid and the condition of the skin. Fusidic acid is excreted mainly in the bile with little excreted in the urine. Betamethasone is absorbed following topical administration. The degree of absorption is dependent on various factors including skin condition and site of application. Betamethasone is metabolised largely in the liver but also to a limited extent in the kidneys, and the inactive metabolites are excreted with the urine.
Steroids. More severe cases, especially those with scalp, nail, and mucous membrane involvement may need more intensive therapy, e.g. systemic steroids, topical and systemic cyclosporine, oral or topical retinoids.6-7 Even with these effective treatments, relapses are common. The prognosis for LP is generally good, as most cases regress within 18 months. In the present study, we describe clinicopathological aspects of this uncommon disorder in a series of patients. Materials and methods Patients of varying ages and both sexes presenting with grouped lichenoid lesions on various regions of the body with no previous or concomitant history of herpes zoster on the involved site or elsewhere on the body were included in the study. They were not taking any particular drugs, e.g. antimalarials, antihypertensive or anti tuberculosis prior to eruption. Individuals with any past or current history of herpes zoster on the involved site or elsewhere on the body or patients having grouped lichenoid lesions suggestive of lichen planus ; but developing in some existing scar due to any disease ; were excluded. During the period of two years Jan 2002 to Dec 2003 ; a total of nine patients were selected, who were fulfilling the inclusion criteria. All patients were clinically examined thoroughly to see any other evidence of LP in mouth, nails and scalp. Laboratory investigations including blood counts, blood sugar, serum liver function tests, serology for hepatitis B and C, serum urea and creatinine were carried out. Skin biopsies were also performed for histopathological studies in all cases and they were treated with potent topical corticosteroids betamethasone dipropionate ; after confirmation of histological diagnosis and famciclovir.

Study No: OTA105036 Title: A single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and potential effects on betamethasone pharmacokinetics of a co administered infusion of the new chemical entity NCE ; in healthy female subjects. Rationale: Glucocorticoids predominantly betamethasone ; are routinely administered to women at risk of preterm delivery before 34 weeks gestation to accelerate foetal lung maturation and prevent respiratory distress syndrome in the premature infant. Betamethasone therapy has been shown to significantly improve neonatal outcomes. Because the administration of antenatal steroids is crucial to the management of preterm labour and tocolytics are co-administered with steroids during acute preterm labour, it was critical to explore the potential effect of the NCE on steroid pharmacokinetics. Phase: I Study Period: 17Jul2006 - 19Sep2006 Study Design: Single-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, three-period crossover study. Centres: One centre in the UK. Indication: None Treatment: Betamethasone 10.6 mg intravenous IV ; solution. Objectives: To determine the pharmacokinetics of single IV doses of a steroid betamethasone ; in the presence of a continuous IV infusion of the NCE compared with placebo in healthy female subjects. Data on the NCE will be posted in the event the NCE is marketed. Statistical Methods: The parameters AUC 0- ; , AUC 0-t ; , Cmax, Cave, t1 2 and CL of betamethasone were calculated using non-compartmental methods. Following loge-transformation, AUC 0- ; , AUC 0-t ; , Cmax, Cave, t and the CL of betamethasone were analyzed by a mixed effect model, fitting fixed effect terms for regimen, sequence and period and treating subject as a random effect. Point estimates and associated 90% confidence intervals for the differences A-C and B-C were constructed using the residual variance. These point estimates and confidence intervals were exponentially back-transformed to obtain point estimates and associated 90% confidence intervals for the ratios A: C and B: C. No formal statistical analyses were performed on the safety data. Safety data was descriptively summarized. Study Population: Healthy females of child bearing potential between 18 to 45 years of age, who had a body weight greater than 50 kg and a body mass index BMI ; between 1930 kg m2.

Mehta SK, Younoszai A, Pietz J, Achanti BP. Pharmacological closure of the patent ductus arteriosus. Images Paediatr Cardiol 2003; 14: 1-15 Notwithstanding several contraindications, should clinicians elect to use indomethacin, based on our own experience and review of the literature, we recommend the following strategy to minimize the side effects of indomethacin. To avoid compromise in cerebral and gastrointestinal blood flow, infants should receive 0.1- 0.2 mg kg IV of indomethacin slowly over a minimum of 30 minutes followed immediately by 1 mg kg of furosemide. A total of 3 doses can be given depending on the clinical response & indomethacin levels. The usefulness and the factors that may prompt prolonged indomethacin therapy are still under investigation. Although successful closure of the PDA by indomethacin can be achieved even after 10 days of postnatal age, close monitoring of indomethacin levels and clinical response is required for optimal management of all infants to minimize its side effects. Furosemide given immediately after indomethacin may prevent the renal side effects of indomethacin therapy without interfering with efficacy of indomethacin for the closure of PDA. In addition, it may help improve pulmonary compliance. Concomitant dopamine therapy in an attempt to increase the renal blood flow, however, is of no benefit and it does not reduce the magnitude of the indomethacin-induced oliguria. Obstetrical use of indomethacin to treat premature labor can affect the postnatal response of the ductus to medical therapy. In-utero exposure to indomethacin results in production of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, increased nitric oxide production, loss of smooth muscle cells, and loss of contractile capacity. In such cases, prostaglandins play a minimal role in the closure of the ductus arteriosus and premature infants become unresponsive to indomethacin therapy. These children have an increased incidence of surgical closure of the PDA. It remains to be seen whether cyclooxygenase-1-selective inhibitors would provide effective delay of premature labor without adverse effects to fetus. Ibuprofen, another non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor, given on the third day of postnatal life appears to be as effective as indomethacin for PDA closure but less likely to induce oliguria. It may be too early to judge its full safety profile as evidenced by a recent report of 3 very premature infants who developed pulmonary hypertension after ibuprofen prophylaxis. Hydrocortisone decreases responsiveness of the ductus arteriosus smooth muscle to PGE2. Prenatal administration of betamethasone decreased the incidence of clinically significant PDA from 34% to 18% by 24 hours. Many clinicians, who could not use indomethacin, either due to contraindications for drug use or personal preference, found postnatal use of low dose corticosteroids useful in the management of hemodynamically significant PDA. Recent concerns about neurodevelopmental delay in very-low-birthweight infants associated with the use of dexamethasone strongly argue against steroid use in these infants. Non-pharmacological therapies Surgical ligation In small infants that are not a candidate for, or who have failed, medical therapy, surgical ligation remains an effective alternative. In a randomized, controlled trial of prophylactic surgical ligation of PDA, the incidence of NEC decreased from 30% to 8%, however, it had no significant effect on other outcome measures like death, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity, and intraventricular.

Case Presentation. A previously healthy eight year old girl presented to her pediatrician with a five day history of nasal congestion, worsening cough, and fever to 38.9C. She was admitted to a local hospital for treatment of a right lower lobe pneumonia Figure 1 ; . Despite antibiotic therapy with vancomycin and ceftriaxone, the patient developed worsening tachypnea, progressive infiltrate with an associated pleural effusion, and decreasing oxygen saturations over the next 48 hours. She was then transferred to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit PICU ; at a tertiary care institution. On PICU admission, her vital signs included: heart rate 170 beats minute, blood pressure 130 80 mm Hg, respiratory rate 60 breaths minute, and temperature 39.5C. Pulse oximetry revealed 92% saturation on nasal cannula oxygen at 3 L min. Chest radiograph confirmed a right lower lobe pneumonia. On physical assessment, the child was awake, alert, and in moderate respiratory distress. She had moderate subcostal retractions, no supraclavicular retractions, good air exchange except at the right base, bilateral crackles right left ; . She had a normal expiratory phase without any wheezing. Her cardiovascular exam revealed no murmur, normal pulses, and normal capillary refill. She had no rashes or skin lesions. Her physical examination was otherwise unremarkable. Question 1: At this point, what would be your most likely course of action?
