Calcipotriol (also called calcipotriene in the US) is a skin medicine for psoriasis. It is a form of vitamin D that slows down how fast skin cells grow, which helps with the red, scaly patches of psoriasis. It controls psoriasis but does not cure it. It comes as an ointment for the skin and as a lotion (scalp solution) for the scalp, and it is a prescription medicine in the UK. Some products also contain a steroid (corticosteroid) to reduce redness and swelling.
- Plaque psoriasis on the skin (ointment)
- Plaque psoriasis on the scalp (lotion or scalp solution)
- Mild to moderate psoriasis diagnosed by a doctor, in adults
- In some products, psoriasis treatment combined with a steroid to calm inflammation
