For Psoriasis "I had psoriasis on the bottom of my right foot for years. Nothing helped it. My doctor prescribed this ointment. I use it 2x aday. Within a week there was dramatic improvrment. The scales and redness disappesred and I no longer scratched my goot raw and bleeding. Thank you for discovering this ointment combination I'm a believer."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Psoriasis "100% improvement and I have tried for 20 years to stop the flaking all over the house. I can wear a sleeveless shirt every day now. I wish I was a rep for this remedy. My experience has literally been life altering! So far I have experienced NO noticeable side effects."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Psoriasis "This stuff is the only thing that works for me. I live in a sunny country and still get it on my face, jawline and around the ears. When I start to feel it coming back I spray this once a day for a few days and it’s gone. Same effect on genital region too. Elbows and knees are more stubborn and it’s like 40 bucks a can so I only use when it starts to itch. I tried the oil based version of this and it’s not as effective, there’s something with the delivery medium in the can that makes it work."

Taclonex Scalp (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Plaque Psoriasis "I found that my plaques were softened by the scalp oil. I found the scalp oil easy to was out in a single washing. Those were positives. I stopped using for the simple reason that I couldn't sleep. I wear a night guard for my teeth grinding, and a c-pap for sleep apnea. By the time I put the thing in my mouth for my teeth, oiled up my head, placed shower cap followed by c-pap I felt smothered and found it difficult to sleep. The addition of oil and plastic hat (which is noisy) made my c-pap slip off and require attention frequently in the night. Bedtime was a circus and scalp oil was a challenge I couldn't keep in my routine."

Taclonex (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Psoriasis "I got a Zero Co-pay coupon for this medication and have been using it for about 8 months now with little relief from psoriasis. It's greasy, takes a while to apply to all my areas, and doesn't work any better than regular lotion for me. "

For Plaque Psoriasis "I have only used Enstilar for about 2 months and so far it hasn't helped me but I don't use it often because of the issues below. 1. Skin feel like you sprayed glue on it..sticky can't dress until you stop sticking. 2. Spray is messy goes everywhere and hard to hold can and spray on awkward spots. 3. Foam comes out ice cold which is painful to psoriasis. This one is nutty to me. 4. Horrible to wash out of hair. Did this once never again. Might be more effective if it was in a big tub NOT tube."

Taclonex (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Psoriasis "I’ve had psoriasis for about five years now and have been recently prescribed Taclonex. I have to say it is amazing and really helps my scalp psoriasis. Although, it is important to wash hair once a week with a strong anti-plaque shampoo as Taclonex can only do so much for so long."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Psoriasis "Have been using for psoriasis on my feet for a week now. The cold spray feels good to my itchy, dry , cracked feet. I can already tell it is working faster than the Clobetasol ointment I have used for years. I paid $75 for one 60gram can. More than I want to pay, but better than other prices I am seeing here."

For Plaque Psoriasis "After almost 5 years on Cosentyx I had a pretty bad flare up of Plaque Psoriasis. The usual topicals weren’t helping. My dermatologist told me to try Wynzora for 8 weeks. By weeks 3 I saw drastic improvement-no side effects."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Plaque Psoriasis "I just started using the product for a week. Not sure if I'm using it correctly I'm doing what the doctor told me and that was for two weeks apply a thin coat to the affected area. So far after one week things look good. He said after the second week is done and I'm to use it sparingly and use 6 cream or ointment unless I see an outbreak. Tell me, interesting and concerned about this foam spray that I'm using is that it's freezing cold - like freezer burn - freezer burns about the only way I can explain it. It's not so to me it's more dry and absolutely frigid cold I don't know if this is normal cuz my doctor say anything about that?"

Dovobet (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Plaque Psoriasis "It is very helpful to clear out any sign of psoriasis in a short interval of time (2-3 days), but the signs keep returning over and over again. I prefer something more useful over long term. Still good job!"

Taclonex Scalp (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Plaque Psoriasis "After 37 years I have tried all the shampoos, creams, oils, out there. I am still refusing biologics though..... the stuff can give you lymphoma, no thanks. My dermatologist gave me samples of taclonex topical suspension and I liked it right away. I like that It stays on long enough to soften my plaques. It eases some of my relentless itching immediately so that I can sleep. I paid 40 dollars for my prescription because I called my insurance ahead of time to get it approved, that saved me 1200 dollars. It worked well for me when I got samples, here is hoping it continues to work for a while."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Plaque Psoriasis "Hello Everybody, I was psoriasis sufferer for over 30 years, tried all the creams from a-z nothing to write home about. Then I tried Enstilar the product was amazing but I needed to maintain my psoriasis daily which I am not good at. Then Skyrizi gets approved and with in 3 months (2 injections for starters then 1 every 3 months) I am completely clear for over a year."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Plaque Psoriasis "I thought it was doing a fantastic job, but then I developed folliculitis from the sheer greasiness of this product. It isn't easy to wash out, and then it plugs up all the follicles on your head. So it works but then causes another problem, which was as equally worse as the original problem. It needs a different medium to transport the active ingredients."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Psoriasis "Fast relief, then prolonged lighter itching, so unsure if the residue of psoriasis or prolonged effect of Enstilar. Tricky to judge when to tail off the treatment. Side effects for me are constipation and irritability."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Plaque Psoriasis "This is the only stuff that has worked for me over the last 25 years or so, since I started suffering from psoriasis. Like many people with the condition, I was embarrassed to wear shorts and a T-shirt, but Enstilar cleared the plaques, redness and itching up within a few days. I use it sparingly and I don’t find the foam a problem or too sticky. Miracle cure for me, but I can see from some reviews that it doesn’t work for everyone. I haven’t used it on my scalp yet. I have some calcipotriol liquid that evaporates quickly when applied to scalp/hair, but it hasn’t worked too well. I’m thinking of trying Enstilar but can see people have had issues washing it out, so I might just live with it and be happy the rest of my body is clear. Use sparingly. Fantastic results!"

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Psoriasis "This foam does not work for me. Initially it did help somewhat with easing the appearance of psoriasis on my forehead, turning it a pale pink color, however it’s still there. I also have spots on my hands that this product will fade temporarily. Product does not absorb completely so it leaves skin feeling greasy. Impossible to use on scalp without it getting stuck in my hair, it takes about 3 washes to get oil out of hair. Helps lift flakes that are present at time of application but they grow right back. No improvement at all on my feet/heels. Only reason I’m using this is for a little relief but the more I use it the less effective it is. I keep hoping it will work but it doesn’t. My hands, arms, legs and scalp are covered in plaques that just won’t go away. This medication seems more suited for a patient with a couple of large plaques."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Plaque Psoriasis "Can’t seem to get it to work that well. I can’t believe some are paying so much for the stuff! I live in Northern Ireland and get it free of the NHS! Healthcare sucks elsewhere I guess! Fighting psoriasis is a bloody nightmare!"

Taclonex (betamethasone / calcipotriene) for Plaque Psoriasis "After experiencing severe dandruff, scaling and occasional itching that would not go away using over-the-counter dandruff shampoos, I made a trip to my dermatologist. Was diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp. I was prescribed Talconex, which has worked wonders. After just one use, my scalp was almost cleared of all scale and flaking. After using daily for one week, it completely cleared. When is cleared completely, I stop using it and just use over-the-counter dandruff shampoo to keep it under control. When it starts flaring up again, I go right back to the Taclonex and once again when it is cleared completely, I stop using it and just use over-the-counter dandruff shampoo to keep it under control. When it starts flaring up again, I go right back to the Talconex and it clears it right up again."
