Valisone S Lotion: Effective Dermatological Relief with a Unique Blend
Valisone-S Lotion, a dermatological solution, combines the power of Betamethasone Dipropionate and Salicylic Acid. This potent combination offers anti-inflammatory, keratolytic, and antifungal properties for various
skin conditions
Composition for Targeted Relief:
- Valisone Cream/Ointment: Each gram contains 0.064% Betamethasone Dipropionate (USP)
- Valisone Lotion: Each ml contains 0.064% Betamethasone Dipropionate (USP) and 0.05% Salicylic Acid
(USP)
Clinical Action:
Betamethasone Dipropionate, a fluorinated corticosteroid, exhibits anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects. Salicylic Acid acts as a keratolytic agent, while Clotrimazole provides antifungal activity against dermatophytes
Indications & Usage:
- Valisone Cream/Ointment: Ideal for managing inflammatory manifestations of psoriasis and corticosteroid responsive dermatoses
- Valisone Ointment/Lotion: Provides relief from subacute/chronic hyperkeratotic and dry dermatoses, including conditions like psoriasis, chronic atopic dermatitis, lichen planus, and more
- ValisoneC Lotion: Suitable for psoriasis, corticosteroid responsive dermatoses, and various fungal skin infections caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, molds, and other fungi
- ValisoneG Cream: Effective for psoriasis and corticosteroid responsive dermatoses complicated by secondary infections susceptible to Gentamicin
Dosage & Administration:
Apply a thin film of Valisone preparations to cover the affected area twice daily—morning and night. Discontinue if the condition is controlled for more than four weeks without reevaluation. Avoid occlusive dressings and ophthalmic use
Precautions:
- Avoid prolonged use, especially in infants and children
- Be cautious during pregnancy
- Discontinue if hypersensitivity reactions occur
- Not intended for use under occlusive dressing
- Monitor for signs of HPA axis suppression
Adverse Reactions:
Mild to moderate transient burning, dry skin, secondary infections, itching, folliculitis, skin atrophy, and more have been reported. Salicylic Acid may cause symptoms of salicylism
Over dosage:
In case of HPA axis suppression, discontinue, reduce application frequency, or switch to a weaker steroid. Supplementary systemic corticosteroids may be needed for steroid withdrawal symptoms
Storage:
- Protect from direct sunlight, and keep out of children's reach
- Valisone-S Lotion offers a powerful solution for various skin conditions when used as directed. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper guidance and diagnosis
Usage & Benefits
- Dual-action formula: Betamethasone Dipropionate controls inflammation and itch while Salicylic Acid simultaneously removes scaly build-up
- Salicylic Acid’s keratolytic action improves Betamethasone penetration through thickened, scaly skin, enhancing overall treatment efficacy
- Specifically formulated for hyperkeratotic and dry dermatoses where scaling is a primary feature alongside inflammation
- Potent corticosteroid class provides robust anti-inflammatory and antipruritic relief for resistant or severe psoriatic plaques
- Lotion base spreads easily on large body surface areas including the scalp and limbs
- 60ml bottle provides sufficient volume for extended treatment courses across multiple sites
- Differentiated from Valisone (plain): the “-S” designation indicates the added keratolytic action of Salicylic Acid, making it more suitable for thick, scaly conditions
- Manufactured by Crystolite Pharmaceuticals to pharmaceutical-grade standards
How To Use
1. Apply a thin film of Valisone-S Lotion to completely cover the affected area.
2. Apply twice daily — once in the morning and once at night.
3. Gently rub into the skin until absorbed.
4. For the scalp: part the hair and apply directly to affected areas.
5. Do not use under occlusive (waterproof) dressings — this increases systemic absorption.
6. Avoid contact with eyes. Not for ophthalmic use.
7. If the condition is controlled, do not continue without re-evaluation after four weeks.
8. Discontinue if hypersensitivity or irritation reactions occur and consult your doctor.
9. Use the minimum effective dose for the shortest period necessary.
10. Avoid prolonged use in infants and children.
Prescription required. Use under dermatologist supervision. Store below 30°C, protect from direct sunlight.
FAQs
What is the difference between Valisone and Valisone-S Lotion?
The “-S” in Valisone-S denotes the addition of Salicylic Acid, a keratolytic agent. While standard Valisone focuses on anti-inflammatory action, Valisone-S is specifically designed for hyperkeratotic and scaly conditions where both scaling removal and inflammation control are needed simultaneously. Valisone (with Clotrimazole) also adds antifungal coverage.
What conditions is Valisone-S Lotion indicated for?
Valisone-S Lotion is indicated for subacute and chronic hyperkeratotic, dry dermatoses including psoriasis, chronic atopic dermatitis, lichen planus, ichthyosis, and conditions where scaling is a prominent feature alongside skin inflammation.
Do I need a prescription for Valisone-S Lotion?
Yes — Valisone-S is a prescription-only corticosteroid lotion. Use only under dermatologist supervision.
How does Salicylic Acid help in this lotion?
Salicylic Acid softens and dissolves the protein bonds in the thickened, scaly skin layer (stratum corneum), facilitating removal of plaques and scales. This also opens a clearer pathway for Betamethasone Dipropionate to penetrate and exert its anti-inflammatory effect more efficiently.
How often do I apply Valisone-S Lotion?
Apply a thin film twice daily — once in the morning and once at night, as directed by your dermatologist.
Is Valisone-S safe for use in children?
Valisone-S should be used with caution in children. Prolonged use is not recommended as children have a higher skin surface-to-body weight ratio, increasing the risk of systemic corticosteroid absorption. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.
Can I use Valisone-S Lotion during pregnancy?
Exercise caution during pregnancy. Potent topical corticosteroids should be used only if clearly necessary and for the shortest duration at the lowest effective dose. Consult your doctor before use.
