About this active substance
Calcipotriol is a vitamin D analog used for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, a chronic skin condition characterized by erythematous plaques and scales. It works by regulating the growth and differentiation of skin cells, reducing inflammation and excessive epidermal cell formation.
The medication is available as creams, ointments, or solutions and is applied topically, as directed by a doctor. The frequency of application and duration of treatment are adjusted based on the severity of the condition and the patient's response.
Common side effects include local irritation, burning sensation, or itching. In rare cases, more severe adverse effects such as hypercalcemia may occur, especially if the medication is used on large skin areas or for prolonged periods.
Calcipotriol is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless the benefits outweigh the risks. Patients should follow their doctor's instructions and avoid excessive sun exposure during treatment. Additionally, it is important for patients to inform their doctor about all medications they are using to avoid drug interactions.
