Verdeso is used to treat inflammatory and itchy skin conditions that respond to topical corticosteroids, including plaque psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (eczema), and other corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.

As a synthetic corticosteroid, Verdeso works by reducing inflammation, suppressing immune responses in the skin, and decreasing the activity of inflammatory cells, which helps alleviate redness, swelling, and itching.

Verdeso is for external use only on the skin and should not be applied to open wounds, broken skin, or the face unless directed by a physician. Long-term use on large areas of skin should be avoided, particularly in children, due to the risk of systemic absorption and potential side effects associated with topical steroids.
