Psoralys-C Ointment is given in combination with vitamins used to treat autoimmune skin disorders like psoriasis (scaly, itchy, and red patches on the skin). It is indicated for adults and children above 12 years of age. It contains Calcitriol and Clobetasol, which minimises the excessive production of skin cells that may build up and form scales on the skin. Also, it restricts the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for red, swollen, itchy skin. It also suppresses the body's extreme immune response and calms the body to improve the itchy, scaly skin rash. It may cause common side effects such as burning or stinging sensation, itching, redness, and dryness. Before using this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Psoralys-C Ointment

Psoralys-C Ointment belongs to a class of medicines called 'steroids' given in combination with vitamins used to treat autoimmune skin disorders like psoriasis (scaly, itchy, and red patches on the skin). It is indicated for adults and children above 12 years of age. Autoimmune skin disorders are conditions in which immune cells attack the body's healthy cells, causing inflammation. Psoralys-C Ointment can suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation. 

Psoralys-C Ointment comprised two medicines, Clobetasol (corticosteroid) and Calcitriol (Vitamin D3). Calcitorl minimises the excessive production of skin cells that may build up and form scales on the skin. At the same time, Clobetasol is a corticosteroid medicine that restricts the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for red, swollen, itchy skin. It also suppresses the body's extreme immune response and calms the body to improve the itchy, scaly skin rash. 

Psoralys-C Ointment should be used as prescribed by the doctor. Common side-effects of Psoralys-C Ointment are burning or stinging sensation, itching, redness, and dryness. Long-term use of Psoralys-C Ointment may affect the adrenal gland and cause abnormal effects. It may also cause vision problems in some cases. 

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Clobetasol or other ingredients in this medicine. Do not use Psoralys-C Ointment in children under 12 years of age without a doctor's advice. Do not use Psoralys-C Ointment to treat acne, rosacea (facial flushing on and around the nose), perioral dermatitis (red or scaly rashes around the mouth), anogenital pruritis (itching around the anus or genitals), itchy, broken or infected skin which is not inflamed and widespread plaque psoriasis (except single lesions).

Directions for Use

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication, to ensure the safety.• Take a small amount of Psoralys-C Ointment on the fingertip and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area as prescribed by your doctor.• Avoid contact of the Psoralys-C Ointment with the nose or eyes. In case of accidental contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly.• Wash your hands before and after using Psoralys-C Ointment if your hands are not the affected area to prevent the spread of infection.

Medicinal Benefits

Psoralys-C Ointment is available only for topical use in various forms, including cream, ointment, and shampoo. Psoralys-C Ointment comprised two medicines, Clobetasol (corticosteroid) and Calcitriol (Vitamin D3). Calcitorl minimises the excessive production of skin cells that may build up and form scales on the skin. Clobetasol is a corticosteroid medicine that restricts the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) responsible for red, swollen, itchy skin. The basic advantage is that Psoralys-C Ointment can be applied only once daily to treat psoriasis compared to other skin preparations.

What if I have taken an overdose of Psoralys-C Ointment

Do not apply Psoralys-C Ointment in large amounts or use it for a long time than recommended, as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects.

Drug Warnings

Inform your doctor before using Psoralys-C Ointment if you have previously had an allergic reaction (hypersensitivity) with another steroid. If there is an overdose, clean the area thoroughly and re-apply the medicine. Apply Psoralys-C Ointment carefully if you use it on eyelids or near the eyes, as there is a risk of cataracts or glaucoma if the drug enters the eye frequently. Psoralys-C Ointment can penetrate the skin easily and may cause skin thinning because of repeated application. So, apply it carefully when using it on broken or damaged skin and large surface areas of the skin. Do not use Psoralys-C Ointment simultaneously as other creams or ointments, such as a moisturizer. Keep at least a gap of 30 minutes between using clobetasol and any other product. Psoralys-C Ointment should not be used to treat acne, rosacea, or skin rash around the mouth.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid), such as apples, cherries, broccoli, spinach and blueberries.
  • Consuming food rich in probiotics helps in developing the immune system against allergies.
  • Limit food intake that might trigger allergies, such as dairy products, soy, eggs and nuts.
  • Avoid consuming foods with excess sugar, as it may flare up inflammation.
  • Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and fish in your diet.
  • Avoiding getting in contact with harsh soaps, detergents and rough fabrics.
