Why is Taclonex Scalp prescribed?

Taclonex Scalp is indicated for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis of the scalp in adults and adolescents (18 years old and older). Plaque psoriasis is characterized by raised, red patches covered by a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells (scale). Taclonex Scalp combines a vitamin D analog (calcipotriene) and a mid-strength corticosteroid (betamethasone dipropionate) to target both the excess skin cell proliferation and the inflammation underlying psoriatic plaques.

What does it do?

Calcipotriene, a Vitamin D analog, slows epidermal cell proliferation, normalizing skin cell turnover and reducing scale buildup. Betamethasone dipropionate on the other hand, is a corticosteroid, provides anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects, helping decrease redness, itching, and swelling by suppressing inflammatory cytokines and immune cell activity. Together, they deliver faster and more complete clearance of psoriatic plaques than either component alone, with a relatively favorable safety profile when used as directed.

How should I take it?

Make sure to shake the bottle well before each use. Apply a thin layer of Taclonex Scalp once daily to affected areas, gently rubbing it in. Treatment should be limited to a maximum of 8 weeks, though it may be discontinued earlier if lesions clear. Do not exceed 100 g per week (about ¾ of a tube) and avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes, and rinse thoroughly if accidental exposure occurs.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a daily application, apply Taclonex Scalp as soon as you remember. Do not apply extra suspension or increase the frequency to make up for the missed dose. Simply resume your regular once-daily schedule the next day.

What are the special precautions before taking Taclonex Scalp?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history and before taking Taclonex Scalp, here are several important precautions to keep in mind:

• Do not take Taclonex if you're allergic to Enstilar, Wynzora, or any of the ingredients in the medication.
• Disclose all your current or past medical conditions to your doctor, particularly if you have hypercalcemia or any other skin conditions or infections.
• Do not use on face, axillae or groin to reduce risk of skin atrophy and steroid-induced side effects.
• Do not apply a bandage or dressing to the treated area unless directed by your healthcare provider.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Taclonex Scalp (Calcipotriene/Betamethasone dipropionate) can interact with various medications, so it's important to check for potential interactions before taking it with another drug.

Before taking Taclonex Scalp, consult your doctor if you are using any of the following medications:

• Vitamin D supplements
• Calcium supplements or diuretic

What action should I take in case of overdose?

If you suspect an overdose of Taclonex Scalp, it's important to act quickly and seek immediate medical attention. Contact emergency services or go to the nearest hospital.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

Taclonex Scalp should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if clearly needed, and under the guidance of a healthcare provider. The effects of topical calcipotriene/betamethasone on pregnancy and fetal development are not well understood. However, using it during pregnancy may increase the risk of low birth weight.

For breastfeeding, it’s unknown whether calcipotriene or betamethasone is excreted in human milk when applied topically. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider for guidance on its use to ensure safety for both you and your baby.
