NeoClarityn
Organon Pharma

NeoClarityn

NeoClarityn contains desloratadine, which is a non-sedating, long-acting histamine antagonist with selective peripheral H1-receptor antagonist activity. After oral administration, desloratadine selectively blocks peripheral histamine H1-receptors because the substance is excluded from entry to the central nervous system.
Diprosalic Scalp Application
Organon Pharma

Diprosalic Scalp Application

Contains the dipropionate ester of betamethasone, equivalent to 0.5% betamethasone, which is a glucocorticoid synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid exhibiting the general properties of corticosteroids, and 2.0% w/w salicylic acid, which has keratolytic properties. The lotion is applied topically to the scalp in the treatment of hyperkeratotic and scaling conditions, where its keratolytic action facilitates penetration of the corticosteroid.
Elocon

Elocon

Contains mometasone furoate, which exhibits marked anti-inflammatory and anti-psoriatic activity
Diprosone
Organon Pharma

Diprosone

Diprosone contains betamethasone dipropionate, a synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid equivalent to 0.05% betamethasone. It is active topically and produces a rapid and sustained response. Topical corticosteroids such as this are effective in the treatment of a range of dermatoses due to their anti-inflammatory and antipruritic actions.
Lotriderm
Organon Pharma

Cream containing the dipropionate ester of betamethasone, a glucocorticoid exhibiting the general properties of corticosteroids, and clotrimazole, which is an imidazole antifungal agent.
Diprosalic Ointment
Organon Pharma

Diprosalic Ointment

Diprosalic contains betamethasone dipropionate, a synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid equivalent to 0.05% betamethasone. It also contains 3% salicylic acid. It is active topically, and produces a rapid and sustained response in inflammatory dermatoses that normally respond to topical corticosteroid therapy. It is also effective in less responsive conditions, such as psoriasis of the scalp and chronic plaque psoriasis of the hands and feet, but not in widespread plaque psoriasis. Topical salicylic acid softens keratin, loosens cornified epithelium and desquamates the epidermis allowing more rapid access to the dermis than when applying steroid alone.

Propecia

Propecia contains finasteride 1mg, which is a competitive and specific inhibitor of type II 5α-reductase. It inhibits a process responsible for miniaturisation of the scalp hair follicles, which can lead to reversal of the balding process
