Calcipot 50mcg/gm Cream

Calcipot 50mcg/gm Cream is a cream made by Valor Pharmaceuticals that contains Calcipotriol 50mcg/g, a vitamin D analogue skin treatment. It is used for psoriasis and scalp psoriasis. Pack size: 30gm cream.

Uses of Calcipot 50mcg/gm Cream

Calcipot 50mcg/gm Cream cream, ointment or scalp solution is used to treat mild to moderate plaque psoriasis on the body and scalp. It reduces the thickness, scaling and redness of psoriasis patches and may be used alone or with a topical steroid, sometimes combined in the same product. It controls psoriasis rather than making it go away permanently, so flare-ups may need repeat treatment.

How Calcipot 50mcg/gm Cream works

Calcipotriol is a synthetic form of vitamin D. In psoriasis, skin cells multiply far too quickly and build up into thick, scaly plaques. Calcipotriol slows this overgrowth and helps the cells mature normally, while also calming some of the inflammation in the skin.

Possible side effects

Calcipot 50mcg/gm Cream may irritate the skin, especially at first. Common reactions include:

• Burning or stinging
• Itching
• Redness
• Dry or peeling skin
• Temporary worsening of psoriasis

Stop using it and see a doctor if you develop severe irritation or a widespread rash, or symptoms of high calcium such as extreme thirst, passing a lot of urine, constipation, muscle weakness or confusion.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not use more than your doctor recommends or apply it over very large areas, as too much can raise blood calcium levels.
• Avoid the face and skin folds, which are easily irritated, and wash your hands after each application.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease or problems with calcium levels.
• Avoid strong sunlight and sunbeds on treated skin, and let your doctor know if you are having UV light therapy.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use Calcipot 50mcg/gm Cream only on medical advice, and do not apply it to the breasts when breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
