How it Works
Fluocortolone, the active ingredient in Ultralan Cream, is a topical corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation in the skin. When the skin is inflamed due to allergy or irritation, various substances are released that cause blood vessels to widen, leading to redness, swelling, itching, and pain. Fluocortolone reduces the release of these inflammatory substances, thus reducing swelling, redness, and itch.
Application
To use Ultralan Cream, apply a thin and even layer to the affected area(s) of skin as directed by your doctor. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after applying the cream, unless your hands are being treated. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, as this can cause irritation.
Availability
It’s essential to note that Ultralanum Plain® was discontinued in the United Kingdom (UK) in July 2016. As of this writing, there are no branded or generic products containing fluocortolone available in the UK for skin problems. However, fluocortolone may still be available in other countries.
Side Effects
Like all medications, Ultralan Cream may cause side effects. Some of the common side effects of topical corticosteroids, such as Ultralan Cream, include:
Burning sensation or smarting
Thinning of the skin
Permanent stretch marks
Allergic contact dermatitis
Acne
Rosacea
Hair growth at the site of application
These side effects usually occur in the first few days of treatment and typically improve over time. If you experience any side effects that continue or are bothersome, consult your doctor.
Conclusion
Ultralan Cream is an effective topical corticosteroid for treating various skin conditions. Its active ingredient, fluocortolone, reduces inflammation in the skin, resulting in reduced redness, swelling, and itch.

Hello Marian, this is WikiKenko.
Ultralan Cream is an anti-inflammatory medication that contains the active ingredients Fluocortolonpivalat and Fluocortoloncaproat, which are glucocorticoids. It is used to treat inflammatory and allergic skin diseases by inhibiting inflammation and reducing associated symptoms such as itching, burning or pain. It is particularly suitable for acute and so-called weeping stages of eczema as well as for use on moist, uncovered or hairy body parts.
According to my sources, Ultralan Cream is a prescription-only medication that can only be dispensed by a pharmacy. Prices for medications can change based on location and availability. Please log in to access the most recent prices.
As with any medication, Ultralan Cream may have side effects. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should inform your doctor before using this medication. If your doctor detects a concomitant bacterial infection and/or fungal infection, specific therapy is required. When using Ultralan Cream on your face, be careful not to get it in your eyes. If your skin becomes too dry during prolonged use of Ultralan Cream, you should switch to a more fatty preparation (ointment or fatty ointment). Talk to your doctor about this.
