pharmachologic effect

Lorinden A is a combined preparation with anti-inflammatory and keratolytic action for external use.

Flumethasone pivalate - synthetic corticosteroids, has anti-inflammatory, anti-edema, anti-allergic, antipruritic effect. Inhibits the activity of phospholipase A2, which leads to suppression of the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators.

It inhibits the migration of leukocytes and lymphocytes to the inflammation focus. Prevents marginal accumulation of neutrophils, which leads to a decrease in inflammatory exudate, production of cytokines and inhibition of macrophage migration, as a result of which infiltration and granulation processes decrease. It inhibits the proteolytic activity of tissue kinins, inhibits the growth of fibroblasts, and prevents the development of connective tissue in the focus of inflammation. Reduces hyperemia, manifestations of hypersensitivity reactions, proliferative and exudative processes occurring in the connective tissue in the focus of inflammation.

Salicylic acid - NSAIDs, promotes the penetration of corticosteroids and gives the drug additional anti-parakeratotic, moderate keratolytic and local hypothermic properties, promotes the penetration of flumethasone into the skin. In addition, it has antibacterial and fungicidal properties and restores the protective function of the skin. Suppresses the secretion of the sebaceous and sweat glands.
