Calcipotriol Anhydrous + Clobetasol

Ointment

This ointment is a combination of a vitamin D₃ analogue and a potent corticosteroid for effective management of psoriasis. Calcipotriol Anhydrous regulates skin cell growth and differentiation, reducing scaling and plaque formation, while Clobetasol provides strong anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects to relieve redness, swelling, and itching. The combination offers faster and more effective symptom control compared to monotherapy and improves overall skin condition.
