About Calpsor Lotion

CALCIPOTRIOL belongs to the class of 'antipsoriatic agent' used primarily for the treatment of psoriasis. Psoriasis is a condition in which your skin develops raised red patches and silver coloured scaly patches. Scaly patches are dead cells that would usually fall off your skin without notice.

CALCIPOTRIOL contains the active substance calcipotriol, also known as calcipotriene. It is a synthetic form of Vitamin D. CALCIPOTRIOL works by reducing this overproduction of skin cells that eases the inflamed, scaly areas.
