Dovonex is a medication containing calcipotriol, a synthetic form of vitamin D. It is used to treat psoriasis by slowing down the rapid growth of skin cells and reducing inflammation. If you're struggling with psoriasis, especially on your scalp or body, Dovonex could be a suitable treatment option for you.
About Dovonex
Dosage and usage
Apply a thin layer of Dovonex to the affected areas once daily. Avoid using more than 100g of Dovonex per week. The effects of Dovonex may take a few weeks to become noticeable. If you experience any skin irritation or your condition worsens, stop using Dovonex and consult your healthcare provider.
What Dovonex contains
Each gram of Dovonex ointment contains 50 micrograms (0.05 mg) of calcipotriol as the active ingredient. The excipients include disodium edetate, liquid paraffin, propylene glycol, and white soft paraffin.
Side effects
Common side effects of Dovonex include skin irritation, redness, and itching. Serious side effects such as severe skin reactions or allergic reactions are rare but may require immediate medical attention. If you experience any unusual symptoms, seek medical help promptly.
Precautions
Do not use Dovonex if you are allergic to calcipotriol or any other ingredients in the ointment. Avoid contact with your face, eyes, mouth, and genitals when applying Dovonex. If you have a history of kidney stones or high levels of calcium in your blood, consult your doctor before using this medication. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also seek medical advice before using Dovonex.

Absolutely love the simplicity of the questioning but after overriding several times I think that it would be better just to repeat the previous order rather than having to repeat the consultation. Having said that I have been accepted for the medication I wanted and I’m a very happy customer. But I do worry they might say no to me after filling out the consultation form. Because I don’t want to have to stop using the medication so that’s my only worry. Other than that I’m very grateful

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.
