2. What is calcipotriol? Calcipotriol is a type of ointment which was manufactured on 1st July 2016, mainly for the treatment of a disease called plaque psoriasis, a disease in which red spots start on the skin and it gradually increase. Experts say that in this skin disease called Psoriasis, many cells of the outer layer of your skin start growing more rapidly due to which dead cells start forming on the skin of your body and it gradually turns into scaly patches. However, sometimes it is also used in conjunction with a steroid medicine called betamethasone because it can be used for a long time, apart from using it, it shows the effect for about a month after using it. If you are going to use Calcipotriol, keep in mind that you may feel a slight itching after applying it because its main purpose is to clean up as much plaque as possible.

5. Common side effects of calcipotriol Calcipotriol is generally tolerable only if the doctor recommends its use, but there are some people who experience many side effects from it and it is believed that the side effects are seen in many lesser doses compared to the ointment than the gel.  If you are using it for psoriasis, then be careful here you need to pay more attention because it can cause a lot of irritation if applied to the face.  Make sure that while applying it is only on the part of psoriasis, or if applied outside, it can cause irritation in that area as well.  If applied to the patient's healthy skin, many side effects such as red marks, excessive itching, and drying of the skin can be seen.  One thing that should be ensured is that the amount of ointment should not be more than 1% because increasing the amount can affect calcium metabolism and if this happens by mistake, then you should get the calcium in blood and urine checked by the nearest doctor.  In case of any side effects, either visit the nearest doctor or check the information leaflet issued by the calcipotriol manufacturer. 5
