Q. Is Calpsor Lotion a steroid?

No, Calpsor Lotion is not a steroid. It is a synthetic variant of vitamin D3. Vitamin D is responsible for the growth of skin cells. In psoriasis, there is excessive growth of skin cells which do not fall off and appear as scaly patches. Due to this your skin develops raised red and silver colored scaly patches. Calpsor Lotion works by reducing the excess amount of cells your skin makes.

Q. How long does it take Calpsor Lotion to work?

Calpsor Lotion may start showing improvement after about 2 weeks of starting the treatment but this may vary from person to person. You may observe significant improvement in signs and symptoms after about 8 weeks of treatment but full clearing is achieved in very few patients. Discuss with your doctor if you are not sure.

Q. Can Calpsor Lotion be used on the face?

No, Calpsor Lotion should not be used on the face as it may cause skin irritation. Also, there are chances of it getting in the eyes. You should also be careful while using in skin folds such as the armpits or under the breasts. This is because you are more likely to get skin side effects in these areas.
