Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Cordran (flurandrenolide) is used to treat the inflammation and itching caused by a number of skin conditions such as allergic reactions, eczema, and psoriasis. It is a topical (for the skin) steroid. Common side effects include mild skin itching, burning, or dryness, thinning or softening of skin, skin rash or irritation around the mouth, swollen hair follicles, changes in color of treated skin, blisters, pimples, or crusting of treated skin, or stretch marks.
The recommended dose of Cordran is to apply a small quantity of lotion and rub gently into the affected area 2 or 3 times daily. It is not likely other drugs you take orally or inject will have an effect on topically applied Cordran. But many drugs can interact with each other. Tell your doctor all medications and supplements you use. During pregnancy, Cordran should be used only if prescribed. It may be harmful to a fetus. It is unknown if this drug passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding. Our Cordran (flurandrenolide) Side Effects Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information on the potential side effects when taking this medication.This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
