The present invention relates to a stable liquid formulation comprising desoximetasone, isopropyl myristate, a C 2 -C 4 alcohol and a stabilizing agent. Specifically, the present invention provides a liquid formulation comprising: a) about 0.01 wt % to about 2.5 wt % desoximetasone; b) about 10 wt % to about 70 wt % isopropyl myristate; c) about 20 wt % to about 70 wt % C 2 -C 4 alcohol; and d) a stabilizing agent selected from the group consisting of an oleaginous vehicle and a propellant, wherein the stabilizing agent is in an amount sufficient to reduce the formation of less than about 1 wt % 17-carboxy-9α-fluoro-11β-hydroxy-16α-methyl-androsta-1,4-diene-3-one under an accelerated storage condition. |
