Buy Diprolene AF Lotion (Betamethasone Dipropionate Augmented) Online

The active ingredient in Diprolene AF Lotion is betamethasone dipropionate. Betamethasone dipropionate is a high-potency topical corticosteroid. The mechanism of action is that it works by calming inflammation in the skin. It reduces the activity of substances in the body that cause redness, swelling, and itching, helping improve symptoms of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses such as psoriasis and eczema.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, and patient information, before using Diprolene AF Lotion. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Diprolene AF Lotion:
