DESCRIPTION
Synalar-N Is the combination of Fluocinolone and Neomycin is used to treat inflammatory pruritic & allergic skin disorders where secondary bacterial infection present or likely to become occur.

• Fluocinolone is a mild steroid. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. Fluocinolone topical (for the skin) is used to treat the inflammation and itching caused by a number of skin conditions such as allergic reactions, Eczema, Seborrhea, and Psoriasis.
• Neomycin is an antibiotic of the aminoglycoside type. It works by entering bacterial cells and interfering with the production of proteins that the bacteria need to divide and multiply. It does not directly kill the bacteria, but leaves them unable to increase in numbers. The existing bacteria eventually die or are destroyed by the immune system. Neomycin is included in this preparation to treat the bacteria that sometimes infect inflammatory skin diseases.
