About TITROL OINTMENT
TITROL OINTMENT is indicated for the topical treatment of mild to moderate plaque psoriasis in adults and children two years of age and older. Plaque psoriasis is the most common form of psoriasis. It causes dry, itchy, raised skin patches (plaques) covered with scales.
TITROL OINTMENT contains calcitriol, which works by lowering the activity of immune cells in the skin and helps to inhibit the formation of excess skin cells that can stack up and create scales on the skin.
TITROL OINTMENT is generally safe to use. 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 longer, please consult your doctor.
Avoid taking TITROL OINTMENT if you are allergic to calcitriol or its components. Inform your doctor before using TITROL OINTMENT if you are pregnant, want to become pregnant, or are currently nursing. Please let your doctor know if you have a history of liver or kidney disease, hypercalcaemia (high calcium levels in the blood), or hypervitaminosis D (excess Vitamin D levels in the blood).
Uses of TITROL OINTMENT
TITROL OINTMENT is used in the treatment of plaque psoriasis. The detailed uses of TITROL OINTMENT are as follows:
