Flamigel ® RT helps to create optimal healing conditions to accelerate cell renewal, allowing the compromised skin to heal fast and therefore reduce the likelihood of scarring. MHRA Drug Safety Update: Safe use of emollient skin creams to treat dry skin conditions - August 2020 Evaluation work has been undertaken locally by Community Nursing Teams within LCHS to determine the most clinically and cost effective products barrier products available for local use.

There are no known interactions with other medications which might be used cutaneously and concurrently with Differin Gel, however, other retinoids or drugs with a similar mode of action should not be used concurrently with adapalene. Flamigel ® RT helps reduce the intensity of early symptoms of radiotherapy-induced skin reactions such as red, dry, itching, flaking, peeling or irritated skin (dry desquamation).

Please find below a brief summary for the management of moist desquamation in the vulva, groin and perineum following pelvic radiotherapy, in accordance with our departmental guidelines. In animal studies, adapalene was well tolerated on cutaneous application for periods of up to six months in rabbits and for up to two years in mice. The major symptom of toxicity found in all animal species by the oral route were related to a hypervitaminosis A syndrome, and included bone dissolution, elevated alkaline phosphatase and a slight anaemia. Large oral doses of adapalene produced no adverse neurological, caridovascular or respiratory effects in animals. Adapalene is not mutagenic. Lifetime studies with adapalene have been completed in mice at cutaneous doses of 0.6,2 and 6 mg/kg/day and in rats at oral doses of 0.15, 0.5 and 1.5 mg/kg/day. The only significant finding was a statistically significant increase of benign phaeochromocytomas of the adrenal medulla among male rats receiving adapalene at 1.5 mg/kg/day. These changes are unlikely to be of relevance to the cutaneous use of adapalene. Flamigel ®RT will help to soothe pain 1, reduce redness and heat by its cooling effect and, therefore, soothes the exposed skin areas.

It is advisable to start following these guidelines from the start of your radiotherapy treatment and continue until any changes to your skin subside. Flamigel RT can be used at the point of brisk erythema to help prevent moist desquamation. Some patients may be given this during their radiotherapy but can also be prescribed by the GP. Adapalene applied cutaneously is comedolytic in the rhino mouse model and also has effects on the abnormal processes of epidermal keratinization and differentiation, both of which are present in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris. The mode of action of adapalene is suggested to be a normalisation of differentiation of follicular epithelial cells resulting in decreased microcomedone formation.

Do not use the creams on areas of the skin that have become moist and are beginning to weep (you will need an alternative cream for this areas) at System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper.RenderPartialInternal(String partialViewName, ViewDataDictionary viewData, Object model, TextWriter writer, ViewEngineCollection viewEngineCollection) Moisturising skin two to three times daily is usually adequate.

ULHT and LPFT reserve the right to determine whether or not RED drugs will be used within their trusts. RED classificationAdapalene is essentially stable to oxygen and light and is chemically non-reactive. Whilst extensive studies in animals and man have shown neither phototoxic nor photoallergic potential for adapalene, the safety of using adapalene during repeated exposure to sunlight or UV irradiation has not been established in either animals or man. Exposure to excessive sunlight or UV irradiation should be avoided. Flamigel ® RT helps to reduce pain, redness, and heat by its cooling effect and, therefore, soothes the exposed skin areas. Flamigel ® RT helps to continue the prescribed radiotherapy treatment by delaying the onset and reducing the incidence of radiotherapy-induced moist desquamation (RIMD). With patients for whom it is necessary to reduce the frequency of application or to temporarily discontinue treatment, frequency of application may be restored or therapy resumed once it is judged that the patient can again tolerate the treatment.
