Dovonex Ointment is a skin application formulated specifically for treating psoriasis. It includes Calcipotriol as its active component, which is a man-made form of vitamin D. The ointment functions by controlling the proliferation and maturation of skin cells. As a non-steroidal alternative, it alleviates psoriasis symptoms like inflammation, flaking, and itching, without the usual adverse effects linked to treatments that contain steroids.
