๐Ÿ”ฌ Pharmacology (PK/PD)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionTopical absorption varies; minimal systemic absorption from intact skin, increased from inflamed or damaged skin.
DistributionDistributes locally in skin layers; systemic distribution minimal.
Protein BindingBeclometasone: ~87% bound to plasma proteins.
MetabolismBeclometasone is metabolized in the liver via CYP3A4; Neomycin is not significantly metabolized.
Half-LifeBeclometasone: ~3 hours; Neomycin: ~2-3 hours (systemic).
ExcretionBeclometasone: Renal and biliary; Neomycin: Primarily renal.
BioavailabilityLow systemic bioavailability due to topical application.
Onset of ActionWithin a few days of regular application.
Peak Plasma TimeNot applicable for topical use; minimal systemic levels.
Duration of ActionVaries; typically applied 1-2 times daily.

How It Works

Beclometasone binds to glucocorticoid receptors, inhibiting inflammatory mediators; Neomycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 30S ribosomal subunit.

Mechanism Steps

1Beclometasone binds to glucocorticoid receptors in skin cells.
2Receptor complex translocates to nucleus, modulating gene transcription.
3Decreases production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha).
