Amcinonide is a synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid.

Amcinonide shares the actions of the other topical corticosteroids and is used for the relief of the inflammatory manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Based on clinical studies in patients with various dermatoses and on vasoconstrictor assay, the anti-inflammatory activity of 0.1% amcinonide cream is similar to that of 0.1% betamethasone valerate cream, 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide cream, or 0.025% fluocinolone acetonide cream.
