How Does Daivonex Ointment 0.05%-30gm Work

Calcipotriol, the active ingredient in Daivonex, slows down the overproduction of skin cells caused by psoriasis. By normalizing cell growth, it reduces the formation of thick, scaly patches and minimizes inflammation. This leads to clearer, healthier-looking skin.
