I am 8 weeks pregnant and have psoriasis on my scalp. My dermatologist prescribed a lotion, can I continue to use it?

Good evening,

According to the references, Ratio-topisalic lotion is considered a first-line treatment for psoriasis even in pregnant women. It is safe as long as the application does not exceed 20% of the body surface. Be sure to use on the thickest patches as much as possible, as this will limit absorption.

I hope this answers your question. Please contact me again if you have any further questions or concerns and I will be happy to answer them.

Sincerely,

David Tan, pharmacist
