Overview Calisor Ointment

DermaCalm ointment is a topical treatment for mild to moderate psoriasis. It slows skin cell growth, diminishing red, scaly patches. Apply only externally, precisely as directed by your physician. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before application. Always wash your hands meticulously before and after use. Consistent application maximizes effectiveness. Avoid overuse; it won't accelerate healing and may increase side effects. Report any condition persistence beyond four weeks or worsening symptoms to your doctor. Maintaining cleanliness of affected areas aids treatment. Common, usually temporary, side effects include dryness, irritation, itching, burning, stinging, redness, and rash at the application site. Persistent side effects warrant medical consultation. Avoid eye contact; rinse thoroughly with water and seek immediate medical help if contact occurs. Inform your doctor of pregnancy, pregnancy plans, or breastfeeding before use. Disclose any kidney or liver conditions for appropriate dosage adjustment. Facial application is discouraged due to potential irritation. Minimize or avoid excessive sun or UV exposure during treatment.

FAQs on Calisor Ointment

Calisor Ointment contains a synthetic form of vitamin D3, not a steroid. Vitamin D3 promotes skin cell growth; psoriasis involves excessive skin cell growth, leading to raised, red, silvery scales. Calisor Ointment helps by regulating this excessive cell production.
Calisor Ointment may show some improvement within two weeks, although individual responses vary. Significant improvement might be seen after eight weeks, but complete clearing is uncommon. Consult your doctor if you have concerns.
Calisor Ointment shouldn't be applied to the face due to potential skin irritation and the risk of eye contact. Use caution in skin folds like armpits or under the breasts, as these areas are more susceptible to side effects.
Use Calisor Ointment precisely as your doctor instructs. Wash your hands before and after application.

Always wash your hands afterward.
