Dovobet is a topical medication used to treat plaque psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterised by thick, red, and scaly patches. It combines two active ingredients: calcipotriol, a vitamin D analogue that slows down the rapid growth of skin cells, and betamethasone, a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and itching.<\/p>\n
This dual-action formula is designed to target both the overproduction of skin cells and the inflammatory response that causes the visible symptoms of psoriasis. By addressing both core aspects of the condition, Dovobet helps to reduce plaque thickness, calm redness, and relieve itching. Most users begin to see visible improvements within a few days to weeks of consistent application.<\/p>\n
Dovobet is available in several forms, including gel, ointment, and foam, allowing for flexibility depending on the severity and location of the psoriasis. It is typically applied once daily to affected areas, and treatment duration depends on the severity and response. The formulation is easy to use and designed to be absorbed quickly without leaving greasy residue.<\/p>\n
Dovobet is effective for managing moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Prolonged use over large areas or under occlusion should be avoided to reduce the risk of side effects from corticosteroids. Common side effects include skin irritation, dryness, or changes in pigmentation at the site of application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
