How To Use LUXIQ®
(betamethasone valerate) Foam

Also available as a downloadable PDF in English and in Spanish.

For external use only.

Break the tiny plastic piece at the base of the nozzle by gently pushing back (away from the piece) on the nozzle.


Turn the can upside down and dispense a small amount of LUXIQ Foam onto a clean saucer or other cool, clean surface. Do not dispense directly onto hands, as foam will begin to melt immediately upon contact with warm skin.



Pick up small amounts of foam with fingers and gently massage into affected area until foam disappears. Repeat until entire affected scalp area is treated. Apply twice daily, once in the morning and once at night. Use sparingly—only enough to cover the affected areas.

Gently massage the foam until it is absorbed and allow the areas to dry naturally.

When applying to the scalp, move the hair away so that the foam can be applied directly to each affected area.

Wash your hands immediately after applying LUXIQ Foam, and discard any unused dispensed medication.

Do not wash or rinse the treated areas immediately after applying LUXIQ Foam.

Do not bandage, cover, or wrap the treated area unless your doctor tells you.

What to do if you miss an application

If you forget to apply LUXIQ Foam at the scheduled time, use it as soon as you remember, and then go back to your regular schedule. If you remember at or about the time of your next daily application, apply that dose and continue with your normal application schedule. If you miss several doses, tell your doctor at your next appointment.

LUXIQ Foam is a prescription medicine for the relief of corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions of the scalp (scalp psoriasis). Betamethasone valerate, the active ingredient in LUXIQ Foam, is a corticosteroid used on the skin to help reduce the redness, swelling, and itching associated with scalp psoriasis.
