Psoranext-C Ointment is used to treat psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply and form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. These red patches can commonly appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.

Psoranext-C Ointment consists of two medicines: Clobetasol propionate (corticosteroid) and Calcipotriol (the synthetic form of Vitamin D). Clobetasol propionate blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers), which make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Calcipotriol inhibits the overproduction of skin cells. Together, Psoranext-C Ointment treats psoriasis.

Psoranext-C Ointment is for external use only. Use Psoranext-C Ointment as advised by the doctor. In some cases, Psoranext-C Ointment may cause 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.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Psoranext-C Ointment. Let your doctor know if you have liver/kidney diseases, hypercalcemia (high calcium levels in the blood), or hypervitaminosis D (excess Vitamin D levels in the blood). Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Psoranext-C Ointment only with proper consultation and caution. Psoranext-C Ointment is not recommended for children less than 12 years of age.

Psoranext-C Ointment is a combination of two medicines, Clobetasol propionate and Calcipotriol. Clobetasol propionate is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers), which make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Calcipotriol is an anti-psoriatic agent which inhibits the excess production of skin cells that leads to the formation of scales and patches of the skin in psoriasis. Psoranext-C Ointment helps treat plaque psoriasis, a most common type of psoriasis that develops thick red patches on the skin, with a silver or white scaly layer.

Psoriasis: It is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply and form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. These red patches can commonly appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Psoriasis is a noncontagious (not spread by contact) chronic immune condition with no cure. It can be mild, moderate, and severe based on the patch coverage on the skin. Psoriasis can be pustular, guttate, inverse, and erythrodermic. Pustular psoriasis mainly covers the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Guttate psoriasis usually starts in childhood or at a young age and affects the torso and limbs. Inverse psoriasis forms bright red lesions in the armpits, groin, and under the breasts. Erythrodermic psoriasis is triggered by sunburn, infections, and certain medications that cause redness and shedding of the skin.
