Betamethasone + Calcipotriol

Uses

Betamethasone and Calcipotriol are used in the treatment of psoriasis.

How it Works

How Betamethasone and Calcipotriol Work Betamethasone and Calcipotriol is a combination of two medications used to treat psoriasis. Betamethasone is a steroid that inhibits the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for making the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Calcipotriol is a form of vitamin D that reduces the overproduction of skin cells, preventing the buildup that can lead to scaling on the skin.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Betamethasone and Calcipotriol include itching, headache, nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages), psoriasis, scaling, and upper respiratory tract infection.
