Dovobet is a medication used to treat psoriasis, a skin condition that causes red, scaly patches. This product contains two active ingredients, calcipotriol and betamethasone, which work together to reduce inflammation and slow down the growth of skin cells. Dovobet is suitable for adults with psoriasis on areas of the body like the scalp and body that haven't responded well to other treatments.
About Dovobet
Dosage and usage
Apply a thin layer of Dovobet to the affected areas once daily. Do not use more than 15g per day. Avoid using Dovobet on the face, armpits, or groin unless directed by your doctor. The effects of Dovobet can be seen within two weeks of starting treatment. If you experience any irritation or your condition worsens, stop using Dovobet and consult your healthcare provider.
What Dovobet contains
Each gram of Dovobet ointment contains 50 micrograms of calcipotriol and 0.5 mg of betamethasone (as dipropionate). The other ingredients are liquid paraffin, polyoxypropylene stearyl ether, mineral oil, polyethylene, and butylhydroxytoluene.
Side effects
Common side effects of Dovobet may include itching, burning, or redness at the application site. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include skin thinning, changes in skin color, or allergic reactions. If you experience severe skin irritation or any unusual symptoms, seek medical help promptly.
Precautions
Do not use Dovobet if you are allergic to any of the ingredients or have a skin infection. Avoid getting Dovobet in your eyes. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Dovobet. Inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, especially corticosteroids. If you have liver or kidney problems, discuss with your doctor before using Dovobet.

Very good
I've twice been a customer of this company and been very satisfied. Be aware the consultation process is specific and probing. It may have been the product I needed but in my case the questions were extensive. This is reassuring in view of the growing hysteria surrounding the practice of buying medicines online, to say nothing of the activities of some fairly dubious forces trying to put a stop to it, though things do move quickly once you're request is approved, with despatch and delivery of a discreetly packaged item taking place within a couple of days more often than not. Frankly I'm glad they're there and with GPs proving ever more intractable because of arbitrary, unexplained and ever more draconian ’clinical guidelines’ I suspect others will be too. A satisfied customer happy to recommend the service.

Your company has helped me stay well.
Your company has helped me stay well.When I have infections and it’s difficult to get medication. I can always rely on Dokteronline. My husband was poorly with covid and the gp would only issue him one lot of antibiotics and he was getting worse, because he had asthma. The medication I gave him from yourselves made all the difference and he was feeling better within two days. He’d been ill for three weeks. Thankyou for your great service would have been lost without you at times
