Frequently asked questions

Use Calcipotriol as directed by your doctor. Wash hands before and after application. Apply it thickly on the psoriasis-affected area until absorbed, and wash hands afterward.
No, Calcipotriol is a synthetic form of vitamin D3, not a steroid. It helps regulate skin cell growth, which is excessive in psoriasis, leading to scaly patches.
Calcipotriol is not suitable for individuals allergic to it, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with severe liver or kidney issues, or abnormal calcium levels. It should not be used by children under 6.
No, Calcipotriol should not be applied on the face due to potential skin irritation and risk of eye contact. Use caution in skin folds like armpits or under breasts.
Calcipotriol may show improvement in about 2 weeks, with significant effects often seen after 8 weeks. Full clearing is rare, so consult your doctor for personalized advice.
