Topical steroids are prescription medicines regulated by Health Authorities. The products listed here are the generic (and trade) names of those available in New Zealand currently (July 2007). The products available in other countries may be different. For example, in the USA, the classification of topical steroids places them in seven potency classes. Seek the advice of a pharmacist or your own medical practitioner if you require more information.
