About Soristop Ointment

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

These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
