Diflorasone Diacetate recalls
From the FDA Enforcement database. A recall covers specific lots — not the drug as a whole.
How long diflorasone diacetate keeps
No diflorasone diacetate label we read sets a separate limit for after opening, but they do specify how it must be stored — and the stability behind any date assumes those conditions.
What people report to the FDA about diflorasone diacetate
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 170 reports naming diflorasone diacetate, and the FDA flagged 74% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- pruritus12 reports
- psoriasis12 reports
- pyrexia11 reports
- febrile neutropenia7 reports
- nausea7 reports
- rash7 reports
- vomiting6 reports
- anaemia5 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean diflorasone diacetate caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take diflorasone diacetate with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run diflorasone diacetate against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What brand names is diflorasone diacetate sold under?
We track 4 diflorasone diacetate-containing products in the U.S.: Florone, Florone E, Psorcon E and Psorcon. They are the same active ingredient; they differ in form, manufacturer, price and FDA recall record.
What forms does diflorasone diacetate come in?
Across the brands we track, diflorasone diacetate is currently marketed as topical, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic diflorasone diacetate?
We do not currently list a generic-labelled diflorasone diacetate product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
