How to use Dovobet Ointment
Dovobet Ointment should be used exactly as your prescriber has instructed. The calcipotriol helps to reduce the rate at which your skin cells reproduce, and the betamethasone reduces the redness/inflammation.
The usual recommend dose is applying the ointment once daily to the affected area(s) only. Treatment length is usually 4 weeks, but repeated courses can be given for up to 52 weeks under medical supervision.
Topical preparations which include calcipotriol should not exceed a maximum daily dose of 15g. Dovobet Ointment should not be used on more than 30% of the body surface area.
