POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Route of administration: Cutaneous
Ointments are especially appropriate for dry, lichenified or scaly
lesions.
Apply thinly and gently rub in using only enough to cover the entire
affected area
once or twice daily for up to 4 weeks until improvement occurs,
then reduce the
frequency of application or change the treatment to a less potent
preparation.
Allow adequate time for absorption after each application before
applying an
emollient.
In the more resistant lesions, such as the thickened plaques of
psoriasis on elbows and
knees, the effect of betamethasone valerate can be enhanced, if
necessary, by
occluding the treatment area with polythene film. Overnight occlusion
only is usually
adequate to bring about a satisfactory response in such lesions;
thereafter,
improvement can usually be maintained by regular application without
occlusion.
If the condition worsens or does not improve within 2-4 weeks,
treatment and
diagnosis should be re-evaluated.
Therapy with betamethasone valerate should be gradually discontinued
once control
is achieved and an emollient continued as maintenance the
