What is Enstilar Foam?
Enstilar 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.
How Does Enstilar Foam Work?
Enstilar Foam is a topical medication used to treat plaque psoriasis. It contains calcipotriene and betamethasone, two active ingredients that work together to improve the symptoms of plaque psoriasis.
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.
