Psoriasis
Medicinal Benefits
Sorifix Ointment 30 gm is a combination of two medicines: namely: 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. Sorifix Ointment 30 gm 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.
