Sorvate C Ointment 20Gm

Sorvate C Ointment is used to manage plaque psoriasis in adults, reducing redness, scaling and itching for more comfortable skin.

Uses of Sorvate C Ointment are:

• Plaque Psoriasis: Reduces redness, scaling and itching by controlling inflammation and excessive skin-cell growth.

Here's how you should apply Sorvate C Ointment:

• Start by cleaning and drying the affected skin area properly.

• Apply a thin layer of the ointment using your fingertips or a clean cotton swab.

• Gently massage it into your skin until it's fully absorbed.

• Remember to wash your hands after applying, unless your hands are being treated.

• Avoid contact with healthy skin, eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. For specific advice, consult your doctor.

Sorvate C Ointment is applied topically.

Sorvate C Ointment has two active ingredients at work:

• Calcitriol/Cholecalciferol (0.0003%): This is a synthetic form of Vitamin D3 known to regulate skin cell growth and differentiation. When dealing with psoriasis, skin cells tend to multiply too rapidly, leading to scaly patches on the skin surface. Calcitriol slows down this excessive cell growth, reducing scale formation.

• Clobetasol Propionate (0.05%): This potent corticosteroid has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic (anti-itch), and vasoconstrictive properties. It works against an overactive immune response seen in psoriasis conditions by reducing inflammation and itchiness, thereby helping alleviate discomfort from psoriatic lesions.

• Keep Sorvate C Ointment in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.

• Protect it from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

• Always keep the tube tightly closed when not in use.

• Ensure Sorvate C Ointment is out of reach of children.

• Remember to use this ointment before its expiry date.

• As excess alcohol consumption can exacerbate psoriasis symptoms, try to limit your intake. It's important to remember that moderation is key.

• A healthy diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines) can help manage inflammation associated with psoriasis. Consider incorporating more of these foods into your meals.
