Neo-Synalar is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and other rashes where bacterial infection is present or suspected. It may also be prescribed for allergic skin reactions and certain types of dermatoses.

This medication combines two active ingredients: fluocinolone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, itching, and redness by suppressing the local immune response; and neomycin, an antibiotic that works by killing susceptible bacteria or preventing their growth on the skin's surface.

Neo-Synalar is for external use only and should not be applied to large areas of the body, under bandages, or on open wounds for extended periods. Common side effects may include skin irritation, burning, or dryness at the application site. Prolonged use of neomycin-containing products may lead to skin sensitization or bacterial resistance. Use during pregnancy or on children should be under medical supervision only.
