Calpsor C Tube Of 15gm Ointment
Description
Calpsor C ointment is a topical medication commonly used to treat psoriasis, a skin condition characterized by red, itchy, scaly patches. It helps reduce discomfort, improve skin appearance, and control flare-ups when used regularly as prescribed. It is intended for external use only and should be applied in a thin layer to the affected areas only.
This medicine is usually advised to be used exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Hands should be washed before and after application, and care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or healthy skin. The treated area should not be covered with bandages unless advised, and it should not be used for longer durations or on larger areas than recommended.
Calpsor C ointment works through the combined action of its two active components. Clobetasol is a potent topical steroid that reduces redness, swelling, and itching by modulating inflammatory processes in the skin. In contrast, calcipotriol, a vitamin D-like compound, slows the excessive growth of skin cells that leads to scaling in psoriasis. Together, they help relieve symptoms and improve skin healing.
Some people may experience mild side effects, such as itching, irritation, dryness, or a rash at the site of application, which are usually transient. If severe irritation, allergic reactions, vision problems, or signs of infection occur, the medicine should be stopped, and medical advice should be sought. It is not recommended for children and should be used cautiously in people with conditions like diabetes or calcium imbalance.
Calpsor C ointment should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight, and kept out of reach of children and pets. It should not be frozen or used after expiry. If a dose is missed, it should be applied when remembered without overapplying. Regular follow-up with your doctor is important, especially if there is no improvement after two weeks of use.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Calpsor C ointment works through the combined action of its components, Clobetasol and Calcipotriol.
- Clobetasol is a steroid that works by blocking the production of certain chemical substances in the body (prostaglandins) that cause itching, swelling, and redness.
- Calcipotriol is similar to vitamin D and works by reducing the growth of skin cells, thereby decreasing your symptoms.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Calpsor C ointment is applied externally on the skin; thus, it is less likely to interact with other medicines taken orally. However, it may interact with other topically applied creams, lotions, and gels. Consult your doctor if you are already using another topical gel or cream....
- Medicines like ritonavir (used in HIV infection), itraconazole (used to treat fungal infections) should be used with caution along with Calpsor C ointment.
