alclometasone dipropionate + betamethasone valerate

Alclometasone dipropionate + betamethasone valerate is a topical combination of two synthetic corticosteroids. Both components act as anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive agents when applied to the skin. Alclometasone dipropionate is considered a low- to medium-potency corticosteroid used for relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses such as eczema and atopic dermatitis. Betamethasone valerate is a medium-potency corticosteroid indicated for similar conditions, including various forms of dermatitis and psoriasis. The combination would be expected to provide enhanced anti-inflammatory effects compared to either agent alone by targeting multiple pathways involved in skin inflammation.
