About CALPSOR CREAM 30GM

CALPSOR CREAM 30GM belongs to the class of 'antipsoriatic agents' used primarily for treating psoriasis. Psoriasis is a condition in which your skin develops raised red patches and silver-coloured scaly patches. Scaly patches are dead cells that usually fall off your skin without notice.

CALPSOR CREAM 30GM contains the active substance calcipotriol, also known as calcipotriene. It is a synthetic form of Vitamin D. CALPSOR CREAM 30GM works by reducing this overproduction of skin cells that eases the inflamed, scaly areas.

These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
