Overview Pasitrex 0.005% Ointment

Dermacalm 0.005% ointment is a topical treatment for mild to moderate psoriasis. It slows skin cell growth, reducing redness and scaling. Apply only to clean, dry skin as directed by your physician. Always wash hands before and after use. Consistent application is key for optimal results. Using more won't speed healing and may increase side effects. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist beyond four weeks or worsen. Maintaining skin cleanliness enhances its effectiveness. Common, usually temporary, side effects include dryness, irritation, itching, burning, stinging, redness, and rash at the application site. Persistent side effects require medical attention. Avoid eye contact; rinse with water immediately if contact occurs and seek medical advice. Inform your doctor about pregnancy, breastfeeding plans, or kidney/liver conditions before use. Facial application is discouraged due to potential irritation. Minimize sun or UV exposure during treatment.

FAQs on Pasitrex 0.005% Ointment

Pasitrex 0.005% Ointment is not a steroid; it's a synthetic vitamin D3 derivative. Vitamin D regulates skin cell growth. Psoriasis involves excessive, un-shed skin cell growth, causing raised, red, scaly patches. Pasitrex reduces this excessive skin cell production.
Pasitrex 0.005% Ointment may show improvement within two weeks, though individual responses vary. Significant improvement is usually seen after eight weeks, but complete clearing is uncommon. Consult your doctor if you have concerns.
Pasitrex 0.005% Ointment shouldn't be applied to the face due to potential skin irritation and the risk of eye contact. Avoid use in skin folds like armpits or under the breasts, where irritation is more likely.
Follow your doctor's instructions precisely when using Pasitrex 0.005% Ointment. Wash your hands before and after application. This ointment is for external skin use only. Apply a thick layer to affected psoriatic areas (red, scaly patches), either directly or via your fingertip, rubbing gently until absorbed. Always wash your hands afterward.
Pasitrex 0.005% Ointment is contraindicated in patients with allergies to its components, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with severe liver or kidney disease, or abnormal calcium levels. It should not be used in children under 6 years of age.
