4.1Clinical Studies Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying condition, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
An open-label safety study was conducted in 29 pediatric subjects 3 months to 2 years old to assess the HPA axis by ACTH stimulation testing following use of the formulation of DERMA-SMOOTHE/FS Scalp Oil twice daily for 4 weeks. DERMA-SMOOTHE/FS Scalp Oil is not approved for use in pediatric patients for the treatment of psoriasis of the scalp. The most common adverse reactions were reported in the study:
4.2Postmarketing Experience

Because postmarketing adverse reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
- Endocrine Disorders:HPA axis suppression and Cushing’s syndrome
- Eye Disorders:glaucoma and cataracts
- Nervous System Disorders:intracranial hypertension including bulging fontanelles, headaches, and bilateral papilledema
