About Psoriasis Vulgaris
Psoriasis is a common, non-contagious, chronic skin disease with no clear cause or cure. The negative impact of psoriasis on people's lives can be immense as it affects the appearance of the skin with red, scaly plaques. Psoriasis affects people of all ages and in all countries. The reported prevalence of psoriasis in Europe is approximately 3% of the population1,2, making psoriasis a severe health problem with more than 100 million individuals affected worldwide.3 The flares of psoriasis can be unpredictable and significant comorbidities are common, including arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and depression.3
About topical treatment of mild to moderate psoriasis vulgaris in adults
The combination of 50 µg/g calcipotriol and 0.5 mg/g betamethasone as dipropionate is a well-established topical treatment for mild to moderate psoriasis in adults. An aqueous cream formulation of calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate, based on the proprietary PAD™ Technology, allows for favorable delivery of the active ingredients to the target tissue. Wynzora® Cream was also approved in the US by the FDA in July 2020 and launched in that market.4
