Warnings

Enstilar is applied once daily to affected areas and gently rubbed in. Do not apply the medication to areas that do not have psoriasis.

The maximum adult weekly dose of calcipotriol - betamethasone combined is 100 grams. When used on the scalp, the gel may be used for up to 4 weeks. If it is being used on the body, the gel may need to be used for up to 8 weeks. The recommended treatment period for the ointment is 4 weeks. Most people will notice a benefit during this time. Some people may require treatment for longer than 4 weeks. The medication can be stopped once your condition has improved.

Calcipotriol - betamethasone gel should not be applied from 12 hours before to 12 hours after chemical hair treatments such as dyes or perms.

After applying the medication to the affected areas, do not wash it off. The medication needs to stay in contact with the affected areas in order to work.

Do not apply Enstilar on the face, large areas of damaged skin, in skin folds, the underarms, genitals, groin, or under dressings that do not breathe. Wash your hands after applying calcipotriol - betamethasone so that you do not get the medication on other parts of your body. Avoid getting the medication in your eyes or on your face. If the medication gets on your face, wash it off. If it gets in your eyes, flush the eyes with plenty of water. Do not take Enstilar by mouth.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to use Enstilar exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply more than one dose on any given day. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Do not use the ointment from any tube that has been open for longer than 12 months. Do not use the gel from any bottle that has been open for longer than 6 months. The foam should be used within 6 months of opening. 

Store Enstilar at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children. The aerosol foam is flammable. It should be stored away from sources of heat, open flames or sparks.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
