Used primarily in dermatology for its potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, this compound treats severe allergic reactions, eczema, psoriasis, and other inflammatory skin conditions. It is also applied in managing autoimmune disorders and preventing organ transplant rejection due to its strong suppression of immune activity. In some cases, it is used to reduce swelling in cerebral and pulmonary conditions. Topical and systemic formulations allow targeted or broad treatment, though long-term use requires monitoring for side effects like skin atrophy or metabolic disturbances.
