Daivonex Ointment belongs to the class of 'antipsoriatic agents' used primarily for treating psoriasis. Psoriasis is a condition in which your skin develops raised red patches and silver-coloured scaly patches. Scaly patches are dead cells that usually fall off your skin without notice.

Daivonex Ointment contains the active substance calcipotriol, also known as calcipotriene. It is a synthetic form of Vitamin D. Daivonex Ointment works by reducing this overproduction of skin cells that eases the inflamed, scaly areas.

Always use this medication as advised by the doctor. Daivonex Ointment is generally safe to use. Some may experience common side effects like itching, redness, stinging sensation, dryness and rash. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth while using Daivonex Ointment. Rinse it off with water thoroughly if you get the cream in these areas. Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to Daivonex Ointment or any of its components. Let your doctor know if you have any medical history of liver, kidney diseases, hypercalcaemia (high calcium levels in the blood) or hypervitaminosis D (excess Vitamin D levels in the blood). Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Daivonex Ointment only with proper consultation and caution. Daivonex Ointment is not recommended for children less than 12 years of age.
