Product Introduction:
Calcipotriol is a synthetic derivative of vitamin D3 used primarily in the treatment of psoriasis. It was introduced as a topical medication in the 1990s and has since become a widely used therapy for psoriasis vulgaris, a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches.
Uses:
- Psoriasis Treatment: Calcipotriol is primarily used topically to treat psoriasis vulgaris, especially in cases where other topical treatments have been ineffective.
Benefits:
- Effective: Calcipotriol has been shown to effectively reduce the symptoms of psoriasis, including scaling, redness, and inflammation.
- Well-Tolerated: It is generally well-tolerated by patients and can be used for long-term management of psoriasis.
- Topical Application: Being a topical medication, it offers localized treatment without significant systemic side effects.
Side Effects:
- Skin Irritation: Mild skin irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning sensation at the application site, may occur.
- Hypercalcemia: Although rare, excessive absorption of calcipotriol can lead to elevated levels of calcium in the blood, resulting in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, weakness, and confusion.
Safety Advice:
- Avoid Overuse: Use calcipotriol as directed by a healthcare professional to minimize the risk of side effects.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Calcipotriol may increase sensitivity to sunlight, so it’s advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or UV rays during treatment.
- Use with Caution: Patients with a history of calcium metabolism disorders should use calcipotriol with caution and under medical supervision.
Interaction with Drugs:
- Corticosteroids: Concurrent use of calcipotriol with corticosteroids may enhance the therapeutic effect in psoriasis treatment.
- Calcium Supplements: Concurrent use of oral calcium supplements may increase the risk of hypercalcemia and should be avoided unless directed by a healthcare professional.
- Thiazide Diuretics: Concurrent use of calcipotriol with thiazide diuretics may also increase the risk of hypercalcemia and requires monitoring.
