Frequently asked questions
- What does Flurandrenolide treat?
- Flurandrenolide (Flurandrenolide) may be used to treat facial dermatoses, foot dermatoses, hand dermatoses, inflammation, leg dermatoses, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.
- How does Flurandrenolide work?
- Flurandrenolide is a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids mimic the body's natural stress hormone cortisol: they enter cells and bind a glucocorticoid receptor that switches off genes for inflammatory chemicals, calming swelling, redness, and an overactive immune response.
- How much does Flurandrenolide cost?
- Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $1.16 per ml, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Pred Forte — about $0.60 on the same basis.

- pharmaranks is an independent ratings site, not a pharmacy — we don't issue coupons or sell Flurandrenolide.
