Effectiveness
How Duobrii Affects Patients
Corticosteroids, like Ulobetasol, work by blocking inflammation-causing signals and promoting anti-inflammatory signals. Ulobetasol needs to be applied once or twice each day, and the dose might be higher than the amount of corticosteroid hormones naturally produced by the body. It is important to remember that taking corticosteroids can lead to HPA axis suppression, which weakens the immune system, and increases the risk of infections.
How Duobrii works in the body
Corticosteroids help reduce inflammation and swelling in the body. They do this by blocking certain molecules and proteins that help cause inflammation. They also reduce the number of white blood cells that rush to sites of inflammation. Low doses of corticosteroids reduce inflammation, while higher doses weaken your immune system. High doses of corticosteroids also increase your sodium levels and decrease your potassium levels.
When to interrupt dosage
The measure of Duobrii hinges upon the verified affliction, including Pruritus, corticosteroid responsive, Inflammatory Dermatosis and Plaque Psoriasis. The amount also varies based on the method of administration (e.g. Lotion - Topical or Cream) tabulated in the table below.
