NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Enstilar® 50 micrograms/g + 0.5 mg/g cutaneous foam 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION One gram of cutaneous foam contains 50 micrograms of calcipotriol (as monohydrate) and 0.5 mg of betamethasone (as dipropionate). Excipient with known effect: Butylhydroxytoluene (E321) 50 micrograms/g cutaneous foam. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Cutaneous foam.

The recommended treatment period is 4 weeks. If it is necessary to continue or restart treatment after this period, treatment should be continued after medical review and under regular supervision. _Long-term maintenance treatment_ Patients who have responded at 4 weeks’ treatment using Enstilar® once daily are suitable for long-term maintenance treatment. Enstilar® should be applied twice weekly on two non-consecutive days to areas previously affected by psoriasis vulgaris. Between applications there should be 2-3 days without Enstilar® treatment. If signs of a relapse occur, flare treatment, as described above, should be re-initiated. _Maximum dose_ The daily maximum dose of Enstilar® should not exceed 15 g, i.e. one 60 g can should last for at least 4 days. 15 g corresponds to the amount administered from the can if the actuator is fully depressed for approximately one minute. A two-second application delivers approximately 0.5 g.
