Daivonex 30 g Ointment

Daivonex 30 g Ointment is a prescription topical medicine that contains calcipotriol, a vitamin D analog used on the skin. Each 30 g tube of Daivonex ointment delivers calcipotriol in an ointment base designed for direct application to affected skin. It is used mainly for plaque psoriasis, helping reduce the thick, scaly patches caused by this condition. Because this is an ointment, it is typically chosen when a richer, more protective skin feel is preferred over lighter creams or solutions.

How it works: Calcipotriol works like a vitamin D signal on the skin, helping slow the fast skin-cell buildup seen in psoriasis. In ointment form, Daivonex 30 g Ointment coats the affected area so the medicine can stay in contact with the skin and work locally where it is applied.

Daivonex 30 g Ointment is the full 30 g tube size, so it is suited for treating smaller to moderate areas or for patients who need a practical tube for regular prescribed use. The ointment base stays on the skin longer and can feel greasier than a cream or lotion, which may make it a good choice for dry, thick plaques. A doctor may choose Daivonex 30 g Ointment when they want calcipotriol in a form that is easy to spread and leaves the skin moisturized.

• Plaque psoriasis
• Thick, scaly skin plaques
• Itchy psoriasis patches
• Local treatment for affected skin areas

• Use Daivonex 30 g Ointment only on the skin as directed by your prescriber.
• Apply a thin layer to clean, dry affected areas and rub in gently.
• Wash your hands after applying, unless your hands are the treated area.
• Do not apply to the face, eyes, mouth, or inside the nose unless your doctor specifically says so.
• Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings unless instructed by a clinician.
• Use it at the times your doctor recommends; do not apply extra ointment to speed up results.

Each Daivonex 30 g Ointment tube contains 30 g of ointment for topical use. The amount applied depends on the size of the affected area and the doctor’s plan; calcipotriol ointment is often used once or twice daily, but the exact schedule is individualized. Do not exceed the maximum amount your prescriber gives you, because using too much calcipotriol can raise the risk of side effects.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Calcipotriol may include:

• Skin irritation
• Burning or stinging at the application site
• Redness
• Itching
• Dry skin
• Worsening scalp or plaque irritation if overused or applied to sensitive skin

• Use only on skin and avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.
• Do not apply to broken, infected, or severely irritated skin unless your doctor tells you to.
• Use with caution if you have a large psoriasis area, because too much calcipotriol absorbed through the skin can affect calcium levels.
• Do not use more than the prescribed amount or frequency; higher exposure can increase side effects.
• Tell your clinician if you have kidney disease or a history of calcium metabolism problems.
• Stop and contact a clinician if irritation becomes severe or the treated skin gets much worse.
• Follow sun protection advice, since treated skin may be more sensitive to irritation.

• Other topical psoriasis medicines that irritate the skin, such as retinoids or strong exfoliating agents
• Topical products containing salicylic acid or other keratolytics, which may affect how the ointment is used on the same area
• Calcium supplements or high-dose vitamin D products if large amounts of calcipotriol are used or if blood calcium is a concern
• Other medicated creams, ointments, or steroids applied to the same skin area without medical guidance
