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.

Excellent service. Highly recommend.
It was a very good experience as the service was efficient. The antibiotics I needed were dispatched as quickly as they could be .... with the weekend falling in between the consultation and then them being dispatched there was a delay but that couldn't be helped. The antibiotics I received cleared up the condition I had very well. I would definitely use the service again should the need arise. Many thanks as if I'd not received the treatment I did I wouldn't have recovered as quickly as I did - if at all!

I was able to get a treatment that I would have a long wait for a dermatology referral (still waiting) but now I can stay this treatment to help my symptoms so it is a relief.
