Daivobet 50/500 Ointment contains the synthetic derivative of vitamin D, calcipotriol and the corticosteroid, betamethasone, a combination treatment for psoriasis of the scalp and body.
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease where there are abnormal skin patches exhibiting a red or purple colour that may also be scaly, dry, painful, and itchy. Psoriasis is not contagious and sometimes finger and toenails may be involved.
Daivobet Ointment is applied once daily to the affected areas of the body and gently massaged in. How long the treatment lasts depend on the response and advice of your dermatologist. Repeat treatments may be recommended based upon the response to the initial treatment.
