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.
WYNZORA (halobetasol propionate and tazarotene) is a fixed-dose combination of a corticosteroid (halobetasol) and a retinoid (tazarotene). Halobetasol acts by inducing phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins, which control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Tazarotene is a retinoid prodrug that is converted to its active metabolite tazarotenic acid, which binds to retinoic acid receptors (RAR-γ, RAR-α, and RAR-β) and modulates gene expression, reducing epidermal proliferation and differentiation.
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.
Adults: Apply a thin layer to affected areas twice daily (morning and evening) for up to 4 weeks. For scalp application, use once daily. Maximum weekly dose: 100 g.
