Description

Enstilar Foam 60g is a prescription-only topical treatment for plaque psoriasis, delivering a powerful combination of a corticosteroid and vitamin D analogue in a convenient foam formulation. It offers fast, targeted relief from symptoms like redness, flaking, and itching, while improving skin texture and appearance.

How It Works

Enstilar Foam contains calcipotriol (a vitamin D analogue) and betamethasone dipropionate (a corticosteroid). Calcipotriol helps regulate skin cell growth, while betamethasone reduces inflammation and itching. The foam vehicle enhances skin penetration, offering greater convenience and absorption compared to traditional creams or ointments.

Why Choose Enstilar Foam 60g

Designed for once-daily use, Enstilar Foam is easy to apply to large surface areas, such as the scalp or body. The quick-drying formula doesn’t leave residue and is well-suited for users who want a mess-free, effective psoriasis treatment. Clinical trials have shown significant symptom improvement within a few weeks of use.

This formulation is suitable for moderate plaque psoriasis and is often prescribed when other treatments haven’t worked effectively. The dual mechanism of action offers both immediate relief and long-term improvement when used consistently.

Important Note

Do not use Enstilar Foam on the face, groin, or underarms. Avoid prolonged use to reduce the risk of side effects associated with corticosteroids. If no improvement is seen after 4 weeks, consult your prescriber for alternative treatments. Store away from heat and direct sunlight as it is a pressurised container.
