Psoriasis is a disease that cannot be defeated with modern methods forever, but various medications help improve the skin condition and relieve the patient from unpleasant symptoms for a long time. Most patients suffer from a mild form of the disease, so local medications are enough to treat it. Among them, psoriasis sprays occupy a special place.

Indications psoriasis sprays

A spray for psoriasis is used to slow down the intensive growth of cells. This helps to quickly and effectively relieve inflammation. The remedy should be selected by a doctor, based on what type of disease the patient has, how large an area the psoriatic plaques already occupy, what form of the disease, and what the patient's condition is at the moment. As a rule, various sprays are suitable for treatment in a state of remission or exacerbation in the process of subsiding. This helps to improve the condition of the skin and take care of it daily.

In the treatment of psoriasis, hormonal drugs show excellent results, among them the following sprays are worth highlighting.

The active ingredients of the spray are oxytetracycline and prednisolone. Before spraying on damaged skin, shake the aerosol bottle thoroughly. Apply from a distance of at least 20 cm only to those areas of the skin that were affected by psoriasis. Use every day until the main symptoms of the disease disappear.

The main side effects from using the spray are: itching, inflammation, irritation, allergic reactions, acne.

Pharmacodynamics

Let's consider the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of sprays for psoriasis using the example of the popular non-hormonal product "Skin Cap".

Pyrithione zinc, which is part of its composition, has well-defined antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory properties. It is sensitive to the following fungi: Pityrosporum orbiculare and Pityrosporum ovale. They are the ones that cause itching and increased peeling of the skin. It also exhibits activity against the following bacteria: Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus spp.

With the help of zinc pyrithione, the ATP level is reduced, which causes depolarization of cell membranes. This causes the death of pathogenic microorganisms and fungi.

[ 8 ]

Pharmacokinetics

When applied externally, zinc pyrithione is deposited in the upper layer of the dermis and epidermis. Absorption is very slow. Can be detected in the blood.

Dosing and administration

Before spraying the psoriasis spray on the affected areas of the skin, the skin must be thoroughly washed and dried. Shake the aerosol bottle several times and only then apply it to the patient's body. Hold the bottle vertically, at a distance of at least 13 cm from the skin. The dosage is individual and prescribed by a doctor.

Since sprays are used most often during remission, they can and should be used after the main symptoms of the disease have disappeared.

Use psoriasis sprays during pregnancy

Some sprays with a natural base (Spray 999, Beauty Balance) can be prescribed to pregnant women. But they should be sprayed very carefully and under the supervision of a doctor.

Contraindications

As a rule, psoriasis sprays do not have serious contraindications. All of them are not recommended for use in case of intolerance to the main components of the drugs. Also, some drugs (Polcortolone TC, Oxycyclozole) should not be applied to skin affected by fungi or viral diseases. Before using any drug, you must carefully read the instructions.
