FAQs
Is Calpsor-B Lotion a prescription product?
Yes. It contains a potent corticosteroid (Betamethasone Dipropionate) and requires a valid prescription in Pakistan.
What is Calpsor-B used to treat?
Calpsor-B is specifically indicated for plaque psoriasis (also called psoriasis vulgaris) in adults. It is not for other skin conditions.
What does Calcipotriol do?
Calcipotriol is a synthetic Vitamin D3 analogue. It slows the excessive growth of skin cells (keratinocytes) that causes psoriatic plaques, reducing thickening and scaling over time.
Can I use Calpsor-B on my face or scalp?
Do NOT apply to the face, groin, or armpits. Scalp psoriasis plaques (not the forehead or face) can be treated. Ask your dermatologist for a specific scalp formulation if needed.
How much Calpsor-B can I use per week?
Maximum 100ml per week (15ml per day). Exceeding this dose risks elevated blood calcium (hypercalcaemia) from Calcipotriol and adrenal suppression from Betamethasone.
Is Calpsor-B safe during pregnancy?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use with caution and only under strict medical advice. Both active ingredients carry pregnancy risk.
What are the possible side effects?
Common: mild skin irritation, itching, or burning at application site. Less common: folliculitis, skin thinning (with prolonged steroid use), pigmentation changes. Rare: hypercalcaemia (if dose limit exceeded), pustular psoriasis flare. Consult your dermatologist if any of these occur.
