Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) "Don't waste your time buying the foam. It comes out ice cold hardly, evaporates instantly and you will need a can just to cover affected areas. I called to complain, they said that is how it comes out and even said that many people have complained about same issue."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) "I've been using Enstilar for about three weeks. All the scaley tissue is completely gone and the red spots are clearing up. It's great stuff. Because I live in the UK, it's free to me. I looked it up and if I had to buy it, it would be £60 per can"

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) "I have had psoriasis for last 20 years and used many different medicines including injecting methotrexate and none of them worked. I was sceptical about Enstilar foam but I used it daily for 4 weeks and the results are amazing. I've stopped using it now for about a month and my skin still seems to be improving and I am hopeful for the future now."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) "Been using Enstilar for about 4 years... @ first it was used primarily as a touch up for Enbrel and worked great .. But... I fell off the Enbrell wagon due to the leg sting, injector aversion and a royal pain in the butt co pay assistance program. What a yank! Now just on Enstilar and seeking a decent base drug to build on as even though it helps greatly with plaques and redness I just don't think Enstilar is a qualified continuous base treatment for this condition."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) "Have had moderate psoriasis since age 11 (26 years). Nothing has ever worked treatment wise. Was admitted to hospital 3 weeks ago ( for mental health reasons) and the doctor prescribed Enstilar as soon as they saw my skin. My skin has dramatically improved. Started to see a difference after the 2nd application. I am very impressed. Just hope it continues to improves and I can become psoriasis free, or at least almost psoriasis free. I'm from UK and Enstilar was free of charge on our NHS."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) "I have suffered from psoriasis for many years and had every cream and ointment! Even strong medication for 10 years! I have recently been prescribed this and it worked within 24 hours!! After reading other reviews I'm so glad that I get this on the NHS and don't have to pay! Definitely recommend trying this product."

Taclonex (betamethasone / calcipotriene) "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."

Taclonex Scalp (betamethasone / calcipotriene) "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."

"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) "Talconex suspension worked but cost was out of this world!!. Can. drugs had only talconex gel and I don't like it at all. Cost was 200.00!! Made my scalp worse and its to greasy!! Been looking for help but 2 drs. Were not any help next I'll try Mexico. Gotta be some relief soon."

"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) "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) "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) "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) "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) "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) "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) "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) "Along with Otezla I had great results! No itch, no misery, no side effects other than clearer skin. All my scaling and flakes are invisible except of my left calve which is a faint light pink."

Enstilar (betamethasone / calcipotriene) "I suffer with severe atopic dermatitis . Over a year ago I developed psoriasis on my scalp, behind ears & forehead! I had been to my GP many times, he just kept telling me it was my eczema that had affected this and triggered it ! He just kept prescribing me steroid creams . I eventually got a dermatology appointment in the hospital. They prescribed me enstilar, and no joke, after one application it removed all flakes and hard lumpy skin on my scalp . 4 days of using it and my psoriasis is completely gone! Even the itch & the redness!! I will continue to use this once a week to keep it all at bay . But I would 100000% recommend it ."
