Dovonex Ointment contains calcipotriol, a synthetic form of vitamin D used to treat plaque psoriasis. It works by slowing down the excessive growth of skin cells that leads to the formation of thick, scaly patches. This helps reduce scaling, redness, and thickness of the affected areas, improving the skin’s appearance and comfort.

The ointment formulation is particularly suitable for dry, scaly plaques, as it also helps lock in moisture. Dovonex is usually applied thinly to affected areas once or twice daily, as prescribed, and may be used alongside other psoriasis treatments for enhanced results.
