Description
Provate-S Lotion — Betamethasone Dipropionate + Salicylic Acid USP for Scaling Psoriasis
Provate-S Lotion 30ml is a prescription combination product containing two active ingredients: Betamethasone Dipropionate USP 0.64mg/ml (equivalent to Betamethasone 0.5mg/ml) and Salicylic Acid USP 20mg/ml (2% w/v). The salicylic acid acts as a keratolytic — it softens and lifts the thick, scaly plaques of psoriasis, improving corticosteroid penetration so the betamethasone can work more effectively at the site of inflammation. The lotion vehicle makes it especially suited to scalp psoriasis. Manufactured by Saffron Pharmaceuticals. Shake well before use. Prescription required.
Composition
- Betamethasone Dipropionate USP — 0.64mg/ml (equiv. Betamethasone 0.5mg/ml)
- Salicylic Acid USP — 20mg/ml (2% w/v)
Indications
Provate-S Lotion is indicated for:
- Scaling psoriasis — including thick-plaque psoriasis of the body and scalp psoriasis
- Corticosteroid-responsive scaling dermatoses where a keratolytic is also required
- Eczema with significant scaling where standard corticosteroids alone are insufficient
How Provate-S Differs from Provate Lotion
Unlike Provate Lotion (betamethasone alone), Provate-S incorporates Salicylic Acid 2% to break down the thick stratum corneum layer in psoriatic plaques. This keratolysis increases active drug delivery to inflamed skin — making Provate-S the preferred choice when significant scaling is present.

FAQs
Is Provate-S Lotion available without a prescription?
No. Provate-S Lotion is a prescription (Rx) medicine available only on prescription from a registered medical practitioner.
What does the salicylic acid do in Provate-S Lotion?
Salicylic Acid USP 20mg/ml acts as a keratolytic — it softens and removes the thick, scaly plaques of psoriasis, allowing the betamethasone to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
What skin conditions is Provate-S Lotion used for?
It is primarily used for scaling psoriasis (including scalp psoriasis) and other corticosteroid-responsive scaling dermatoses where a keratolytic is also needed.
Why should I shake Provate-S Lotion before use?
Shaking ensures the two active ingredients are uniformly mixed throughout the lotion before application.
Can I use Provate-S Lotion on my face?
Do not apply to the face without specific dermatologist instruction. Betamethasone dipropionate is a potent steroid that can cause significant skin thinning on facial skin.
How is Provate-S Lotion different from Provate Lotion?
Provate-S adds Salicylic Acid 2% to the betamethasone base. This keratolytic component makes it specifically suitable for psoriasis with thick scaling, whereas Provate Lotion (without salicylic acid) is used for broader corticosteroid-responsive conditions.
