About Sorifix Ointment 30 gm
Sorifix Ointment 30 gm belongs to the class of 'antipsoriatic agents', primarily 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.
Sorifix Ointment 30 gm consists of two medicines, namely: 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, Sorifix Ointment 30 gm treats psoriasis.
Sorifix Ointment 30 gm is for external use only. Use Sorifix Ointment 30 gm as advised by the doctor. In some cases, Sorifix Ointment 30 gm 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 Sorifix Ointment 30 gm. 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 Sorifix Ointment 30 gm only with proper consultation and caution. Sorifix Ointment 30 gm is not recommended for children less than 12 years of age.
