What is the typical time from manufacture to labelled expiration? (About 3 years?) As it ages, does it just get weak in intended action, or are other compounds formed -- what would they be, and what effects would they have? 69.87.200.17910:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The second and third paragraphs contradict one another:
"The frequency of application depends on the condition being treated and the area affected, but most often it should be applied 2 to 4 times a day.
Fluocinonide ranks as a "high-potency" (second-highest rank) topical corticosteroid. Minimal amounts should be used for a minimal length of time to avoid the occurrence of adverse effects. Fluocinonide should not be used more than two times a day, though usually one application per day is sufficient." emphasis added

The article violates Wikipedia's stated policies regarding the quality and type of citations, presenting significant material without mention of source, and almost all material without the required secondary sources emphasised as necessary for scientific articles. Hence, it is not encyclopedic, even by WP's modest standards. 2601:246:CA80:3CB5:EC94:463E:B6F1:D981 (talk) 01:30, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There is a citation for medlineplus.gov that provides a citation for the side effects that require a "medical citation". It's difficult to find any studies showing these listed like they would be in a medical information guide like medlineplus, so what would be accepted, if medlineplus is not?
