Fluprednidene is used to treat inflammatory and allergic skin conditions such as eczema, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, and other dermatological disorders characterized by inflammation, itching, and redness.

As a topical corticosteroid, fluprednidene works by suppressing the inflammatory response in the skin. It reduces the activity of inflammatory cells and decreases the production of inflammatory substances, thereby relieving swelling, redness, and itching.
