About Dovonex Ointment

Uses and Benefits of Dovonex Ointment

Dovonex Ointment is indicated for the topical treatment of psoriasis on the body. Dovonex can be used alongside moderate to very potent topical corticosteroids, cyclosporin A (oral), or acitretin (oral). This ointment is not suitable for application on the face.

Ingredients in Dovonex Ointment

The active ingredient in Dovonex ointment is calcipotriol. Inactive ingredients in the ointment include white soft paraffin, propylene glycol, liquid paraffin, polyoxyethylene-(2)-stearyl ether, purified water, and disodium phosphate dehydrate, disodium edentate, DL-αtocopherol.

How to Use Dovonex Cream or Ointment (Calcipotriol)?

Follow your doctor’s prescription exactly. Before first use, remove the cap and check the aluminum seal. Use the other end of the cap to pierce the seal.

Gently rub Dovonex ointment onto skin areas affected by psoriasis. Wash your hands after application to prevent accidental contact with your face. Normal clothing can be worn without requiring special dressings.

If Dovonex ointment gets on healthy skin, wash it off immediately. Avoid using it on your face to prevent irritation, and if applied accidentally, wash it off right away. Mild irritation may occur in skin folds; avoid scratching the area.

Do not exceed the weekly maximum dose based on your age. For ages 2–5, use up to 25 g per week; ages 6–10, up to 50 g; ages 11–14, up to 75 g; and adults over 14 years, up to 100 g. If using both cream and ointment, the total combined amount should remain within the weekly limit for your age group.

Overdose:

The calcipotriol in Dovonex can lead to increased blood calcium levels if more than the maximum 100g weekly amount is used. This effect is reversible when treatment is stopped. If you have overdosed, contact your doctor or go to the nearest Emergency Hospital.

Missed Dose:

If you forget to use Dovonex at the right time, use it as soon as you remember. Then go on as before.
