Its 17-valerate ester form ensures potent topical activity while limiting systemic exposure. By influencing gene expression, it reduces immune-driven symptoms like swelling and itching. FDA-approved with a black box warning, it highlights the importance of cautious, supervised use for chronic conditions.
