Steroids

A very wonderful if not excellent pdf on steroids - their potency and finger tip units. This one has some simple useful tables, easy to print out and pop on one's room wall, and a useful diagram of what a finger tip unit looks like.

And another one from the Pennine VTS group.

This is very lovely one from eczema.org where there is comprehensive table with brand names associated, also with steroid potency information. This is quite helpful as a practicing GP.  Highly recommend downloading and keeping on desktop or file.
