Dovobet is a medication used to treat psoriasis, a skin condition that causes red, scaly patches. This product contains two active ingredients, calcipotriol and betamethasone, which work together to reduce inflammation and slow down the growth of skin cells. Dovobet is suitable for adults with psoriasis on areas of the body like the scalp and body that haven't responded well to other treatments.

Very fast and reliable service - I couldn't be happier. I needed a refill for my prescription but couldn't make it to my GP in time due to travel. The medication arrived 3-4 days after I requested a prescription, and it was processed over the weekend.Lovely service, and I'm sure I'll be back!
