Treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults. It is applied directly to affected areas on the body to help reduce scaling, thickness, and inflammation associated with this chronic skin condition.
Calcipotriene works by binding to vitamin D receptors in skin cells, slowing their excessive growth and promoting normal cell maturation. Betamethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, itching, and redness by suppressing immune responses in the skin.
For external use only; avoid applying to the face, groin, or armpits. Should not be used for prolonged periods or on large body surface areas due to corticosteroid-related side effects including skin atrophy and systemic absorption. Not recommended for children or during pregnancy. Patients should wash hands after application and avoid bandaging treated areas unless directed by a physician.
