Flutiderm Ointment 0.01% contains Fluticasone Propionate, a potent topical corticosteroid used to reduce inflammation, redness, and itching associated with various skin disorders. Fluticasone works by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, stabilizing cell membranes, and suppressing the immune response in the affected area. This action helps alleviate the symptoms of eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and other inflammatory skin conditions.

The ointment formulation provides a moisturizing and protective barrier, making it particularly suitable for dry, thickened, or scaly lesions. Its low concentration (0.01%) makes it appropriate for sensitive skin areas or long-term use under medical supervision.
