About Calpsor C Lotion

Calpsor C Lotion belongs to the class of 'antipsoriatic agents', primarily used to treat psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply and form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales.

Calpsor C Lotion contains Clobetasol and Calcipotriol. Clobetasol blocks the production of chemical messengers which make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Calcipotriol inhibits the overproduction of skin cells.

Use this medication as advised by the doctor. Some may experience common side effects like itching, redness, stinging sensation, dryness and rash. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth while using Calpsor C Lotion. Rinse it off with water thoroughly if you get the cream in these areas. Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to Calpsor C Lotion or any of its components.
