Psoriasis was identified as a disorder, affecting human skin, many centuries ago. Since then doctors are trying hard to find solution for the skin problem, called psoriasis. Though people have not still discovered the complete cure for psoriasis, modern science of pharmaceutics, standing on the fundament of knowledge and experience gained throughout the whole human evolution, and being armed with the most up-to-date technologies and inventions, continues to develop newer, safer, and more effective medications against psoriasis.
This is what they say about Taclonex, one of the recently approved options for treating psoriasis, - it is fast, it is effective, it is simple and there is nothing like it. Well, let’s look closer at Taclonex and check out whether the above mentioned statements are nothing but an advertising slogan, or the medication really possesses all the benefits.
Taclonex, in fact, is the combination of two medicines - betamethasone and calcipotriene, which were previously used separately in the treatment of psoriasis. Betamethasone belongs to the group of topical corticosteroids, which help to reduce symptoms of skin inflammation, such as itching and swelling. Calcipotriene is one of the forms of Vitamin D. This component works by decreasing the rate of skin cells reproduction.
Working together betamethasone and calcipotriene provides quick therapeutic effect – just in 7 days of using Taclonex one can get his skin noticeably clearer. Since we are talking about one of the skin disorders, treatment of which is usually pretty time-consuming, we can say that 7 days is a pretty great result and Taclonex can definitely be given a thumb up for its really fast therapeutic effect.
One of the clinical studies showed that after 4 weeks of treatment with Taclonex almost half of the patients, initially diagnosed with moderate psoriasis, got rid of the psoriasis symptoms completely, or their severity was reduced to minimum. Proven effectiveness in eliminating psoriasis symptoms in about 50 percents of cases is not bad, isn’t it? So, thumb up again for Taclonex.
In order to prove Taclonex is simple two facts will be enough. First of all, Taclonex is the opportunity to use one medication instead of two (since it combines two active ingredients). Second, Taclonex is designed for once a day use. A thin layer of Taclonex cream should be applied to the skin surface, affected with psoriasis, and rubbed in gently. To avoid skin irritation, Taclonex should not be applied to face, underarms, and groin. Besides, using the medication on more than 30% of skin surface at a time is not recommended. Of course, applying topical medication is not that simple as taking an oral pill, for example, however, it is still simple.
So, we have already cleared up that Taclonex is simple to use, fast acting and effective medication against psoriasis. Besides, it is not like the other anti-psoriasis medications, because Taclonex combines two active ingredients. There is only one issue left to clear out – safety profile of Taclonex, Namely, what side effects should one be prepared to while using the medication. People allergic to Taclonex or its components should avoid using this medication. The signs of allergic reaction are hives, difficult breathing, and swelling of face, lips, tongue or throat. In case of such signs appearance one should seek emergency medical help.
More common side effects include skin irritation, burning or mild itching, red and scaly rash, swollen hair follicles, and changes in the color of treated skin. However, all such side effects are considered to be mild and not very troublesome.
