Enstilar Foam is a combination topical treatment containing calcipotriol (a vitamin D derivative) and betamethasone (a potent corticosteroid). It is a prescription medication used to treat plaque psoriasis. It belongs to a class of drugs called topical corticosteroids. Topical corticosteroids are medications that are applied to the skin to reduce inflammation. They work by binding specific receptors in the body, which reduces the production of inflammatory substances.
Enstilar Foam is designed to manage plaque psoriasis by reducing the skin cells' overproduction and calming inflammation.
Calcipotriol helps to normalise the growth of skin cells, reducing the scaling and thickness of psoriatic plaques. Betamethasone reduces inflammation, itching, and redness associated with psoriasis, providing symptom relief. Calcipotriol is a vitamin D3 analogue that works by inhibiting the proliferation of keratinocytes, which are the cells that make up the outer layer of the skin, thus slowing down the turnover of skin cells.
Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that also reduces inflammation and itching. These two ingredients work together to help reduce the inflammation and itching associated with psoriasis. This formulation offers several advantages over traditional creams and ointments, including improved absorption and efficacy.
The foam treats plaque psoriasis,s caling on skin, redness on skin, psoriasis Vulgaris, and scaling patches on skin.
Always follow the instructions given by your doctor or read the information provided on the package leaflet when self-medicating.
