Enstilar Foam contains two active ingredients, calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate. It is a prescription topical medication used to treat plaque psoriasis in adults. The foam is applied directly to the affected skin, where it helps reduce inflammation, control excessive skin cell growth, and improve the appearance and feel of psoriasis plaques.

Plaque Psoriasis

Plaque psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes skin cells to grow and build up much faster than normal. Instead of shedding naturally, the extra skin cells collect on the surface of the skin and form raised, thick, scaly patches called plaques.

These plaques may appear red, pink, purple, or darker than the surrounding skin, depending on your skin tone. They may also be covered with white or silvery scales. In addition to their appearance, psoriasis plaques can feel itchy, dry, sore, tight, cracked, or irritated.

Plaque psoriasis commonly affects areas such as the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back, but it can appear on other parts of the body as well. The severity can vary from a few small patches to larger areas of affected skin.

Why Plaque Psoriasis Develops

Psoriasis is linked to an overactive immune response that causes skin cells to reproduce too quickly. Normally, skin cells develop, move to the surface, and shed over several weeks. In psoriasis, this process happens much faster.

Because the skin cells are produced faster than they can be shed, they accumulate on the surface. This leads to the thickening, scaling, and inflammation commonly seen with plaque psoriasis.

Enstilar Foam helps address both the inflammation and the abnormal growth of skin cells.

How Betamethasone Works

Betamethasone is a corticosteroid, a type of medication that reduces inflammation.

When psoriasis is active, the immune system releases substances that contribute to redness, swelling, itching, and irritation. Betamethasone helps suppress this inflammatory response in the treated skin.

By reducing inflammation, betamethasone can help decrease redness, swelling, itching, soreness, and discomfort. It may also help raised plaques become flatter and less irritated.

How Calcipotriol Works

Calcipotriol is a vitamin D analog, which means it acts in a way similar to vitamin D in the skin.

Its main role is to help regulate how quickly skin cells grow and mature. In psoriasis, skin cells multiply too rapidly, causing them to pile up and form thick scales.

Calcipotriol helps slow this excessive growth and encourages skin cells to develop in a more normal pattern. As a result, it can reduce scaling, flaking, roughness, and skin thickening.

How the Two Ingredients Work Together

Enstilar Foam combines calcipotriol and betamethasone so that two major features of psoriasis can be treated at the same time.

Betamethasone mainly targets inflammation and itching, while calcipotriol focuses on abnormal skin cell growth and plaque buildup.

Working together, these ingredients can provide broader symptom control than either type of medication alone. Over time, treated plaques may become smoother, flatter, less scaly, and less inflamed.

What Symptoms Enstilar Foam May Improve

With regular use as prescribed, Enstilar Foam may help reduce several symptoms associated with plaque psoriasis, including:

  • Thick or raised plaques
  • Scaling and flaking
  • Redness or discoloration
  • Itching
  • Dryness and roughness
  • Skin irritation and discomfort

The amount of improvement can vary from person to person depending on the severity and location of the psoriasis.

Why Enstilar Comes as a Foam

The foam formulation is designed to spread easily over affected areas of the skin. It allows the medication to coat psoriasis plaques evenly and can be convenient for treating areas where creams or ointments may be harder to apply.

The medication should still be used only on the areas and for the length of time recommended by your healthcare provider.

What to Expect From Treatment

Enstilar Foam helps control the symptoms of plaque psoriasis, but it does not permanently cure the condition. Psoriasis is a long-term condition, and symptoms may improve, worsen, or return over time.

You may begin to notice that plaques become less itchy, less inflamed, and less scaly as treatment continues. The full response may take longer, so it is important to use the medication consistently as prescribed.

Your healthcare provider will determine how long you should use Enstilar Foam based on how your skin responds and whether your psoriasis remains controlled.

Enstilar Foam should be used exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually applied once a day for up to 4 weeks. Using the medication regularly and correctly can help improve plaque psoriasis symptoms such as scaling, redness, thickened skin, and itching.

Before Applying Enstilar Foam

Before each use, shake the can well. This helps make sure the ingredients are properly mixed before the foam is sprayed onto your skin.

Make sure the affected skin is accessible and follow any cleaning or skin-care instructions given by your healthcare provider.

How to Apply Enstilar Foam

Hold the can in any position except horizontally, then spray the foam directly onto the areas affected by psoriasis.

Use only enough foam to cover the affected skin. After spraying, gently rub the foam into the skin until it is absorbed and no longer visible.

Try to spread the medication evenly over the entire psoriasis plaque so the affected area receives consistent treatment.

How Often to Apply Enstilar Foam

Enstilar Foam is generally applied once daily. Try to use it at about the same time each day to make the treatment easier to remember.

Do not apply Enstilar Foam more often than prescribed. Using extra applications will not necessarily improve psoriasis faster and may increase the risk of side effects.

How Long to Use Enstilar Foam

Treatment is usually continued for up to 4 weeks, unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.

Your psoriasis may begin to improve before the full treatment period is complete. Continue using the medication according to your healthcare provider’s directions. Do not continue using it longer than recommended without speaking with your healthcare provider.

Maximum Amount to Use

Do not use more than 60 grams of Enstilar Foam every 4 days.

Using too much medication can increase the amount of calcipotriol and betamethasone absorbed through your skin. This may raise the risk of unwanted effects, especially when large areas of skin are treated.

Apply Only to Affected Skin

Enstilar Foam should be applied only to areas affected by psoriasis. Avoid spreading the medication unnecessarily onto normal, unaffected skin.

If Enstilar Foam accidentally gets onto healthy skin, wipe it off as soon as possible.

Wash Your Hands After Application

Wash your hands after applying Enstilar Foam unless your hands are the areas being treated.

Washing your hands helps prevent the medication from being accidentally transferred to your face, eyes, mouth, or other areas where it should not be applied.

Avoid Sensitive Areas

Avoid getting Enstilar Foam in your eyes, mouth, or other sensitive areas. It should not be applied to the face unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.

If the medication accidentally gets into your eyes or mouth, rinse the area thoroughly with water.

Avoid Covering the Treated Area

Do not cover treated skin with tight bandages, wraps, or other occlusive dressings unless your healthcare provider tells you to do so.

Covering the treated area can increase the amount of medication absorbed through the skin, which may increase the risk of side effects.

Getting the Best Results

For the best results, use Enstilar Foam consistently and follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully. Apply only the recommended amount and avoid using the medication more frequently or for longer than prescribed.

If your psoriasis does not improve, becomes worse, or returns after treatment, contact your healthcare provider for further advice.

Allergic Reactions

Do not use Enstilar Foam if you have had an allergic reaction to calcipotriol, betamethasone, or any other ingredient in the medication. Tell your healthcare provider about any known allergies before starting treatment.

Avoid the Eyes and Mouth

Enstilar Foam is for use on the skin only. Do not apply it in or near the eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes.

If the foam accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them immediately with cool water. Contact your healthcare provider if irritation, redness, or discomfort continues.

Cuts, Abrasions, and Skin Infections

Do not apply Enstilar Foam to areas with cuts, scrapes, abrasions, or infections unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so. Damaged or infected skin may be more sensitive and may absorb more medication.

Liver and Kidney Problems

Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver or kidney problems before using Enstilar Foam. Depending on your condition and the amount of skin being treated, you may need closer monitoring during treatment.

Skin Thinning

Enstilar Foam contains betamethasone, a corticosteroid. Using corticosteroids for long periods or in large amounts can cause the skin to become thin, fragile, or easier to damage.

If you already have thin or delicate skin, use Enstilar Foam carefully and only as directed by your healthcare provider.

Stopping Treatment

Some people may experience redness, itching, burning, or worsening skin irritation after stopping a topical corticosteroid, especially after prolonged or heavy use.

Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions about how long to use Enstilar Foam and when to stop treatment. If gradual discontinuation is recommended, follow the schedule provided by your healthcare provider.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using Enstilar Foam. Your healthcare provider will consider the possible benefits and risks before deciding whether treatment is appropriate.

Diabetes and Blood Sugar

Corticosteroids can sometimes affect blood sugar levels, especially when they are used over large areas of skin, in large amounts, or for extended periods.

If you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar as recommended by your healthcare provider and report any unusual changes.

Sun Exposure

Protect treated skin from excessive sunlight. Avoid tanning beds and prolonged sun exposure while using Enstilar Foam.

When spending time outdoors, wear protective clothing and use sunscreen as recommended by your healthcare provider.

Use Only as Directed

Use Enstilar Foam only on the areas and for the length of time prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not use more medication, apply it more often, or continue treatment longer than recommended.

Using excessive amounts can increase the absorption of calcipotriol and betamethasone and raise the risk of unwanted effects.

What is Enstilar Foam used for?

Enstilar Foam is a prescription medication used to treat plaque psoriasis in adults. It helps reduce symptoms such as redness, scaling, itching, inflammation, and thickened areas of skin.

Can I use Enstilar Foam if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before using Enstilar Foam. There is limited information about its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your healthcare provider will consider the possible benefits and risks before deciding whether this medication is appropriate for you.

Is Enstilar Foam safe for children?

The safety and effectiveness of Enstilar Foam have not been established in children under 18 years of age. Do not use this medication in a child unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider.

How long does it take for Enstilar Foam to work?

The time it takes to notice improvement can vary from person to person. Some people may begin to see changes in their psoriasis symptoms within the first several days of treatment, while others may need a few weeks. Continue using Enstilar Foam exactly as prescribed, even if improvement is not immediate.

Can Enstilar Foam be used on the face?

Enstilar Foam should generally not be applied to the face unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to do so. The skin on the face is thinner and more sensitive, so corticosteroids such as betamethasone may increase the risk of irritation, skin thinning, and other unwanted effects.

Can I use Enstilar Foam with other topical medications?

Do not apply other topical medications to the same area unless your healthcare provider says it is safe. Using multiple skin treatments together may increase irritation, change how the medications are absorbed, or increase the risk of side effects.

Can Enstilar Foam be used for other skin conditions?

Enstilar Foam is intended for the treatment of plaque psoriasis. It should not be used for other skin conditions unless your healthcare provider specifically recommends it. Other skin problems may require different treatments, and using Enstilar Foam on the wrong condition could cause irritation or delay proper treatment.
