Reduces swelling and plaques.
Dalbecal ointment can help treat psoriasis symptoms in two ways: first, by reducing inflammation, and second, by inhibiting the production of skin cells.
To order Dalbecal, answer a few questions online and have it delivered to your doorstep the next working day.
Dalbecal ointment can help treat psoriasis symptoms by reducing swelling and inhibiting excess keratin production (a common cause of psoriasis). It contains two active ingredients, betamethasone (a steroid) and calcipotriol (a type of vitamin D), which are highly effective at treating psoriasis.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting around 60 million people worldwide. The symptoms can vary, but the most common ones include white plaques with a reddish/pinkish outline, itching, and dry skin. It’s usually treated with topical steroid creams, vitamin D, or both (like Dalbecal). In some severe cases, though, you might need oral treatment with steroids.
Dalbecal contains two active ingredients, calcipotriol and betamethasone.
This combination of drugs has been shown to work better together than as standalone treatments. That’s because they each address different things to help alleviate your symptoms.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
When using Dalbecal, it’s important to only use it on the affected skin. Using it on normal skin can cause side effects. To use it, follow the instructions below:
You’ll typically use the ointment once a day for four weeks unless your clinician decides otherwise. If you're using another treatment containing calcipotriol alongside Dalbecal, make sure you don't apply more than 15g of it a day, or to more than 30% of the body's surface.
If you want to stop treatment, ask your clinician first. You might have to gradually decrease your dose, especially if you've been using it for a long time.
Within two weeks, you should see some noticeable improvement in your psoriasis. But to see the full benefits, you might need to use it for a longer period.
If you forget to apply a dose, apply it when you remember, unless it’s close to your next scheduled dose. In this case, skip the missed one. Never apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.
If you accidentally use more than you should, and you’ve applied it on normal skin, don't worry, just wash it away with water or a cloth. But if you used more than 15g of Dalbecal in one day, it may affect your body’s calcium levels. So contact your nearest doctor or A&E department for medical advice.
