It's another corticosteroid cream or ointment, I was prescribed it once but it did nothing for me.
I'm not sure how potent it is. But I'm sure someone will know
It is also marketed as elocon

Hmm yeah I've heard of elecon! My psoriasis isn't too bad anyway it's just really on my knuckles and elbows. The problem with my knuckles is the skin splits a lot so just really need to keep it mosturised.
