Remarks |
Halobetasol Propionate
Halobetasol Propionate is a high-potency topical corticosteroid. Halobetasol propionate exerts anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects by binding to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to the modulation of gene expression and inhibition of inflammatory mediators.
Halobetasol Propionate is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
- The topical cream, ointment, or solution should be applied sparingly to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by the healthcare provider.
- The frequency of application may be adjusted based on the severity of the condition.
Side effects associated with Halobetasol Propionate include-
- Common Adverse Reactions:
- Burning or stinging sensation upon application.
- Itching or irritation at the site of application.
- Less Common Adverse Reactions:
- Dryness or peeling of the skin.
- Hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation.
- Folliculitis or acneiform eruptions.
- Superinfection: Topical corticosteroids may promote the growth of non-susceptible organisms. If signs of secondary infection occur, discontinue use.
