About Calisor Ointment

Calisor Ointment belongs to the class of 'antipsoriatic agents' used primarily for treating psoriasis. Psoriasis is a condition in which your skin develops raised red patches and silver-coloured scaly patches. Scaly patches are dead cells that usually fall off your skin without notice.

Calisor Ointment contains the active substance calcipotriol, also known as calcipotriene. It is a synthetic form of Vitamin D. Calisor Ointment works by reducing this overproduction of skin cells that eases the inflamed, scaly areas.

Always use this medication as advised by the doctor. Calisor Ointment is generally safe to use. Some may experience 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.

Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth while using Calisor Ointment. Rinse it off with water thoroughly if you get the cream in these areas. Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to Calisor Ointment or any of its components. Let your doctor know if you have any medical history of liver, kidney diseases, hypercalcaemia (high calcium levels in the blood) or hypervitaminosis D (excess Vitamin D levels in the blood).
