Inflammatory Skin Conditions: Diflorasone diacetate is primarily used topically to relieve symptoms associated with inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema (atopic dermatitis), psoriasis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and other forms of dermatitis. It works by reducing inflammation, itching, redness, and swelling associated with these skin conditions.
Topical Application: Diflorasone diacetate is available in various topical formulations, including creams, ointments, lotions, and gels, which are applied directly to the affected area of the skin. It is usually applied thinly and evenly to the affected skin once or twice daily, following the instructions provided by a healthcare provider.
Anti-inflammatory Effect: Diflorasone diacetate belongs to the class of medications known as corticosteroids, which exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators and suppressing immune responses in the skin. This helps to alleviate the symptoms of inflammation, such as itching, redness, and swelling, and promotes healing of the affected skin.
Vasoconstrictive Effect: In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, diflorasone diacetate also has vasoconstrictive effects, meaning it causes constriction of blood vessels in the skin. This can help reduce the redness and swelling associated with inflammatory skin conditions and enhance the penetration of the medication into the affected tissues.
Short-term Use: Diflorasone diacetate is typically used for short-term treatment of inflammatory skin conditions to minimize the risk of side effects associated with long-term corticosteroid use, such as skin thinning, telangiectasia (visible blood vessels), and skin atrophy. Treatment duration should be limited to the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms effectively.
Side Effects: Common side effects of diflorasone diacetate may include burning, stinging, itching, dryness, or irritation at the site of application. These side effects are usually mild and transient and may improve with continued use of the medication. However, prolonged or excessive use of diflorasone diacetate may increase the risk of side effects such as skin thinning, stretch marks, or secondary infections.
Contraindications: Diflorasone diacetate is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to the medication or any of its components. It should not be used on open wounds, infected areas, or areas of the skin affected by certain viral infections, such as herpes simplex or chickenpox.
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive β X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
