Product Description
Daivobet is the gold-standard once-daily topical for stable plaque psoriasis on body and scalp (gel version exists for scalp). Calcipotriol normalises skin cell growth Betamethasone rapidly reduces inflammation, itching, and scaling Clinical studies show: 70–80% of patients achieve clear or almost clear skin after 4 weeks Faster onset than calcipotriol or steroid monotherapy Lower relapse rate when used intermittently Benefits • Once-daily application (most patients only need evenings) • Visible improvement often within 1 week • Reduces thickness, redness, and scaling of plaques • Suitable for mild-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis • Proven long-term safety with intermittent “as-needed” maintenance (2–3 times weekly) • More effective and convenient than separate calcipotriol + steroid regimens How to Use (always follow your dermatologist’s exact instructions) • Apply a thin layer once daily to affected areas (not face, flexures, or genitals unless specifically prescribed) • Maximum 30% of body surface & 100 g per week • Standard treatment: daily for up to 4 weeks • Maintenance (to prevent relapse): apply on 2 non-consecutive days per week (e.g., Sat & Wed) to previously affected areas • Wash hands thoroughly after use Important Warnings Contains a strong steroid – do not use continuously longer than 4 weeks without medical review Risk of skin thinning, stretch marks, or rebound flare if stopped suddenly after long use Avoid in pustular, guttate, or erythrodermic psoriasis Not for use under occlusion unless directed by doctor
