About Sorifix Lotion
Sorifix Lotion is used to treat psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply and form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. These red patches can commonly appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.
Sorifix Lotion consists of two medicines: Clobetasol propionate (corticosteroid) and Calcipotriol (the synthetic form of Vitamin D). Clobetasol propionate blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers), which make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Calcipotriol inhibits the overproduction of skin cells. Together, Sorifix Lotion treats psoriasis.
Sorifix Lotion is for external use only. Use Sorifix Lotion as advised by the doctor. In some cases, Sorifix Lotion may cause 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.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Sorifix Lotion. Let your doctor know if you have liver/kidney diseases, hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the blood), or hypervitaminosis D (excess Vitamin D levels in the blood). Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Sorifix Lotion only with proper consultation and caution. Sorifix Lotion is not recommended for children less than 12 years of age.

Medicinal Benefits
Sorifix Lotion is a combination of two medicines, Clobetasol propionate and Calcipotriol. Clobetasol propionate is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers), which make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Calcipotriol is an anti-psoriatic agent which inhibits the excess production of skin cells that leads to the formation of scales and patches of the skin in psoriasis. Sorifix Lotion 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.
