Luxiq Foam is used to treat skin disorders of the scalp such as psoriasis (raised red patches of skin covered in silvery scales) that may feel itchy, tight or sore.
Adults, the elderly and children (over the age of six years): No more than a "golf-ball" sized amount of mousse (containing approximately 3.5mg betamethasone), or proportionately less for children, to be massaged into the affected areas of the scalp twice daily (in the morning and evening) until the condition improves. If there is no improvement after 7 days, treatment should be discontinued. Once the condition has improved, application is reduced to once a day and after daily treatment it may be possible to maintain improvement by applying even less frequently. In children over the age of 6 years, this product should not, in general, be used for longer than 5 to 7 days.
Prolonged use of large amounts, or treatment of extensive areas can result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce the features of hypercorticism and suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. These effects are more likely to occur in children, and if occlusive dressings are used.
Individual cases of headache, stinging and pruritus have been described. If signs of hypersensitivity appear, application should be stopped immediately.
Other abserved side effects include:purpura, acne (especially during prolonged application), perioral dermatitis and systemic activity.
