Abstract
A novel fixed combination lotion containing the super-potent corticosteroid halobetasol propionate 0.01% and retinoid tazarotene 0.045% (Duobrii™) has recently been introduced and indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults. Studies have shown that there is synergy between the ingredients and that the product can be safely used intermittently for up to 1 year. Treatment success (i.e., Investigator Global Assessment [IGA] of clear/almost clear [IGA 0/1] and at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline) occurred in 58.8% of participants at some point in a 1-year clinical trial. Persistence of treatment success is common after treatment discontinuation. Most treatment-emergent adverse events are application site reactions, mild to moderate in intensity, and occur primarily during the first 12 weeks. Counselling should be considered to optimize treatment outcomes.
