Betamethasone + Calcipotriol

Gel

Betamethasone, calcipotriol, liquid paraffin, PPG-15, castor oil.

Calcipotriol is a synthetic analogue of the active metabolite of vitamin D. It causes inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation and accelerates their morphological differentiation. Betamethasone, a glucocorticosteroid (GCS) for external use, has a local anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, vasoconstrictive and immunosuppressive effect, but the exact mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory effect of steroids for external use are not completely clear. The use of occlusive dressings enhances the effect of corticosteroids, as this increases their penetration into the skin.

When using the drug, the absorption of calcipotriol and betamethasone through intact skin is less than 1%. When applying the drug to psoriatic plaques and under occlusive dressings, the absorption of external GCS increases. Since a depot preparation is created in the skin, it is eliminated from the skin within a few days. Betamethasone is metabolized in the liver and in the kidney to form glucuronides and sulfoesters, excreted through the intestines and kidneys.

Therefore, after discontinuation of such treatment, it is necessary to continue clinical observation of the patient. During the treatment period, the patient is advised to limit or avoid excessive exposure to natural or artificial sunlight. Calcipotriol (and preparations containing it) are allowed to be applied topically in combination with ultraviolet radiation only in cases where the attending physician considers the risk of undesirable side effects associated with such treatment justified.
