- Topical corticosteroid treatments vary in their delivery methods, with sprays potentially enhancing patient convenience and adherence while maintaining strong efficacy against skin conditions.
- In clinical trials, clobetasol propionate spray showed significant improvement in skin severity for psoriasis compared to the control, with 87% of subjects achieving a low disease severity score within two weeks.
- Desoximetasone and betamethasone sprays also demonstrated effectiveness in reducing symptoms, while triamcinolone showed clear benefits for inflammatory skin conditions, with similar adverse effects reported across the different corticosteroid sprays.
BACKGROUND: Topical corticosteroids are efficacious treatment options for multiple dermatoses. However, ointments and cream corticosteroid vehicles can be cumbersome to patients and may act as a barrier to adherence. Foam vehicles may be preferred by some patients.
