Prednicarbate is a synthetic corticosteroid and a derivative of prednisolone . It has anti-inflammatory activity comparable to that of desoximetasone in various murine models when administered topically but lacks activity when administered subcutaneously. Topical administration of prednicarbate (2 drops of a 0.1% solution per day) induces wound healing in hairless mice. Formulations containing prednicarbate have been used to treat chronic hand eczema.
