Daivonex 0.005 Percent (30gm) Generic Ointment Tube

Daivonex 0.005 Percent (30gm) Generic Ointment Tube is a medication prescribed to treat mild and moderate psoriasis. This ointment has antipsoriatic agents that restrict the skin cells from overgrowing. It contains Calcipotriol as its active ingredient, which is a synthetic Vitamin D analog. It helps in treating psoriasis by obstructing the proliferation and abnormal growth of skin cells. It induces abnormal skin cells to mature into healthy cells by binding to vitamin D receptors. This ointment modifies the functions of genes involved in the growth of cells and mimics the effects of Vitamin D without creating much impact on the calcium metabolism. Calcipotriol has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects that aid in managing the inflammation associated with psoriasis. With these actions, this ointment prevents the continuous buildup of skin cells and prevents the formation of thick, scaly patches.
