Enstilar Aero Foam at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Enstilar Aero Foam (calcipotriene and betamethasone dipropionate), manufactured by LEO Pharma, is available in Canada.

Currently, there is no generic version of Enstilar available (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Enstilar Aero Foam is a topical foam medication that comes in aerosol cans. Each gram of the foam contains 50 micrograms of calcipotriene and 0.5 milligrams of betamethasone (present as the dipropionate). This concentration is equivalent to 0.005% calcipotriene and 0.064% betamethasone dipropionate in the United States.

Usage:

Enstilar Aero Foam (calcipotriene and betamethasone dipropionate) is a prescription medication used to treat plaque psoriasis in adults. Plaque psoriasis is a skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin. Calcipotriene is a synthetic form of vitamin D3 that helps slow skin cell growth. Betamethasone dipropionate is a high-potency corticosteroid that helps to reduce inflammation and itching. Your doctor determines the application instructions for this foam, which will depend on the severity and location of your psoriasis. It is crucial to follow your doctor's prescribed application regimen.

Mechanism of Action:
Enstilar Aero Foam contains two active ingredients that work in different ways to treat plaque psoriasis. Calcipotriene binds to vitamin D receptors in the skin, inhibiting the overgrowth of skin cells and promoting their normal differentiation. Betamethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that suppresses the release of inflammatory mediators, thereby reducing inflammation, itching, and scaling associated with psoriasis.

Use Enstilar Aero Foam exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the product monograph. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.
