About

Paramethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid corticosteroid listed in the INN (International Nonproprietary Name) register and registered as a prescription-only medicine in EU member states. Its use in cosmetic products is prohibited as it is a pharmacologically active substance without a safety assessment under Regulation 1223/2009. Like all registered steroids, it is subject to strict medical supervision due to its systemic effects.
