Abstract: | Halobetasol propionate (HP) 0.5% ointment and cream are class I topical corticosteroids. We review the efficacy and tolerability of HP for treatment of plaque psoriasis in the English language literature. The efficacy of HP ointment and cream is consistently superior to other super-potent topical corticosteroids. Local adverse events associated with topical HP are similar to those experienced with other super-potent corticosteroids. Combination therapy with calcipotriene (calcipotriol) and tazarotene appears to be superior to monotherapy with topical HP. |
