Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Topical corticosteroid that induces phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins (lipocortins), inhibiting arachidonic acid release and subsequent prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, thereby mediating anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects.
SERNIVO (clobetasol propionate) is a corticosteroid that exerts anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects through induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins, which control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
Apply a thin film to the affected area 1 to 2 times daily. Use the smallest amount for adequate therapy. Do not use for more than 2 weeks per course of treatment.
Apply a thin layer to affected area twice daily for up to 2 weeks.
