Indications
Dovonex Solution, also known as calcipotriol solution, is a medication used for the treatment of chronic, moderately severe plaque psoriasis in adults.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by the rapid buildup of skin cells, resulting in thick, red, and scaly patches on the skin.
Calcipotriol, the active ingredient in Dovonex Solution, is a synthetic derivative of vitamin D that helps to control the excessive growth of skin cells and reduce inflammation associated with psoriasis.
Use and Dosage
Use this medication on the skin only. Comb the hair first to remove any scaly flakes. Apply the medication only to the affected areas of the scalp and gently rub in as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily. Take care not to let any of the solution spread onto the forehead or any unaffected area. Wash your hands after using. Do not apply the medication on the face, in the eyes, nose, or mouth, or inside the vagina. If you do get the medication in those areas, flush with plenty of water.
Do not apply more often or use longer than prescribed. This may increase the risk of side effects.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day.
Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens. You should usually begin to see an improvement in your skin condition after 2 weeks of treatment.
