Dovobet ointment is used for moderatrte plaque psoriasis and the skin inflammation this can cause.
Psoriasis and Dovobet Ointment:
Psoriasis is a skin condition that is caused by your skin cells being produced to quickly. This causes redness, scaling and thickness of the skin.
Dovobets ingredients work to reduce this. The betamethasone in Dovobet reduces inflammation and the calcipotriol helps to bring the rate of skin cell growth back to normal.
Most patients see obvious results within two weeks, even if the psoriasis has not cleared completely.

Ingredients:
One gram of ointment contains 50 micrograms of calcipotriol (as monohydrate) and 0.5 mg of betamethasone (as dipropionate).

• liquid paraffin
• all-rac-α-tocopherol

How to put on Dovobet: Cutaneous use. Instruction for proper use
Use only on your psoriasis and do not use on skin which does not have psoriasis
Remove the cap and check that the seal in the tube is not broken before you first use the ointment
To break the seal, use the point in the back of the cap
Squeeze the ointment onto a clean finger
Rub gently into your skin to cover the affected area of psoriasis until most of the ointment has disappeared into the skin
Do not bandage, tightly cover or wrap the treated skin area
Wash your hands well after using Dovobet (unless you are using the ointment to treat your hands). This will avoid accidentally spreading the ointment to other parts of your body (especially the face, scalp, mouth and eyes)
Do not worry if some ointment accidentally gets on normal skin near your psoriasis, but wipe it off if it spreads too far
In order to achieve optimal effect, it is recommended not to take a shower or bath immediately after application of Dovobet ointment
After applying the ointment avoid contact with textiles which are easily stained by grease (e.g. silk). Duration of treatment
Use the ointment once a day. It may be more convenient to use the ointment in the evening
The normal initial treatment period is 4 weeks but your doctor may decide on a different treatment period
Your doctor may decide on repeated treatment
Do not use more than 15 grams in one day. If you use other calcipotriol containing medicines, the total amount of calcipotriol medicines must not exceed 15 grams per day and the area treated should not exceed 30% of the total body surface.
