SkinMedica launches new Desonate gel for atopic dermatitis

SkinMedica has announced the availability of the Desonate gel 0.05% 120g TwinPack for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. Desonate is jointly promoted by SkinMedica and Galderma Laboratories.

SkinMedica said that the new Desonate (desonide) TwinPack contains two 60gm tubes of Desonate gel for greater coverage of affected areas during the cold-weather season when atopic dermatitis tends to flare most. With the Desonate TwinPack, patients have the added convenience of keeping their medication in two accessible locations. With one prescription, patients can receive twice as much therapy for the same pharmacy co-pay as the smaller tube, the company added.

Clinical studies with Desonate show significant reduction in itching and other symptoms of atopic dermatitis, and Desonate is clinically proven to moisturize and help skin maintain essential hydration by improving the skin barrier.
