What is Taclonex Ointment (Betamethasone/Calcipotriene)?

  TOP RATED LINKS -

Taclonex Ointment is also known as Dovobet Ointment (the generic name of both is Betamethasone/Calcipotriene) and is a topical medication that is used to treat the symptoms of psoriasis. It is made up of an anti-inflammatory and a form of vitamin D.

The Betamethasone portion is the anti-inflammatory and is called a corticosteroid. This ingredient works by decreasing inflammation in the skin which can make the symptoms of psoriasis less severe.

The Calcipotriene portion is the form of vitamin D. It decreases the rate of skin cell turnover.

Normal skin sheds cells and replaces them at an optimum turnover rate. Patients with psoriasis have abnormal skin turnover rates which result in areas of skin that are red, thickened, scaly, dry, itchy, irritated, and painful. Taclonex Ointment (Betamethasone/Calcipotriene) can help decrease the irritation of these areas of skin and help it regain a more normal skin cell turnover rate, thereby lessening the symptoms of psoriasis.
