Dovobet is a topical treatment for plaque psoriasis that contains two active ingredients: calcipotriol, a vitamin D analogue, and betamethasone dipropionate, a potent corticosteroid. Calcipotriol works by slowing down the overproduction of skin cells that leads to scaling, while betamethasone reduces inflammation, redness, and itching. Together, they help improve the appearance and comfort of psoriatic skin.

Dovobet is usually applied once daily to affected areas for a set treatment period, as prescribed. It is available as an ointment, gel, or foam, making it suitable for use on different parts of the body, including the scalp.
