Dovonex is a medication containing calcipotriol, a synthetic form of vitamin D. It is used to treat psoriasis by slowing down the rapid growth of skin cells and reducing inflammation. If you're struggling with psoriasis, especially on your scalp or body, Dovonex could be a suitable treatment option for you.

What Dovonex contains
Each gram of Dovonex ointment contains 50 micrograms (0.05 mg) of calcipotriol as the active ingredient. The excipients include disodium edetate, liquid paraffin, propylene glycol, and white soft paraffin.
Side effects
Common side effects of Dovonex include skin irritation, redness, and itching. Serious side effects such as severe skin reactions or allergic reactions are rare but may require immediate medical attention. If you experience any unusual symptoms, seek medical help promptly.
Precautions
Do not use Dovonex if you are allergic to calcipotriol or any other ingredients in the ointment. Avoid contact with your face, eyes, mouth, and genitals when applying Dovonex. If you have a history of kidney stones or high levels of calcium in your blood, consult your doctor before using this medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also seek medical advice before using Dovonex.

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!
