Medicinal Benefits:

Soritrol C Ointment treats psoriasis and is a combination of two medicines: namely: Clobetasol and Calcipotriol (also known as calcipotriene). Clobetasol is a corticosteroid medicine. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers), which make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Calcipotriol is a man-made form of Vitamin D that is an antipsoriatic agent. It inhibits the excess production of skin cells that leads to the formation of scales and patches of the skin in psoriasis. Soritrol C Ointment helps treat plaque psoriasis, a most common type of psoriasis that develops thick red patches on the skin, with a silver or white scaly layer.
