What Is Nolix?

Nolix (flurandrenolide cream) is a topical (for the skin) corticosteroid used to relieve the inflammatory and itchy manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.

What Are Side Effects of Nolix?

Side effects of Nolix are uncommon and typically short-term, and include:

Dosage for Nolix

The dose of Nolix for moist lesions, is a small quantity of the cream rubbed gently into the affected areas 2 or 3 times a day.

Nolix In Children

Pediatric patients may demonstrate greater susceptibility to topical corticosteroid-induced HPA axis suppression and Cushing's syndrome than mature patients because of a larger skin surface area to body weight ratio.

Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, Cushing's syndrome, and intracranial hypertension have been reported in pediatric patients receiving topical corticosteroids. Manifestations of adrenal suppression in pediatric patients include linear growth retardation, delayed weight gain, low plasma cortisol levels, and absence of response to ACTH stimulation. Manifestations of intracranial hypertension include bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema.

Administration of topical corticosteroids such as Nolix to pediatric patients should be limited to the least amount compatible with an effective therapeutic regimen. Chronic corticosteroid therapy may interfere with the growth and development of pediatric patients.

What Drugs, Substances, or Supplements Interact with Nolix?

Nolix may interact with other medicines.

Tell your doctor all medications and supplements you use.

Nolix During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant before using Nolix; it is unknown how it would affect a fetus. Systemically administered corticosteroids may harm a fetus. It is unknown if topical administration of Nolix could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in breast milk. Systemically administered corticosteroids are secreted into breast milk in quantities not likely to have a deleterious effect on the infant. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
