About Sorvate Ointment

The Sorvate Ointment is specifically designed to address inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis. It targets the excessive buildup of skin cells that lead to the formation of scales on the skin by slowing down the growth of these cells. Additionally, it helps to reduce the activity of immune cells in the skin, thereby minimizing inflammation and flare-ups.

This ointment is intended for external use only, and it is essential to follow the doctor's recommended dosage guidelines. Prior to application, ensure that the affected area is clean and dry. It is also crucial to wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying the ointment to prevent any potential contamination.

Users of Sorvate Ointment may experience side effects such as blistering or itching. Should these symptoms persist, it is advisable to seek medical advice from a healthcare provider. It is important not to use other vitamin D supplements alongside this medication without consulting a doctor to avoid any adverse interactions.

Sorvate Ointment 20 gm contains the active ingredient calcitriol, which is a vitamin D analogue. This medication is primarily indicated for the topical treatment of mild to moderate plaque psoriasis in both adults and children aged two years and above. Plaque psoriasis is characterized by dry, itchy, raised skin patches covered with scales, and Sorvate Ointment helps to alleviate these symptoms by regulating skin cell growth and immune activity.

Individuals using Sorvate Ointment should adhere to the instructions provided by their healthcare provider. While it is generally considered safe, common side effects such as itching, redness, stinging sensation, dryness, and rash may occur. These side effects typically resolve on their own over time. Patients with a history of allergies to calcitriol or related components should disclose this information to their doctor before using the ointment. Additionally, individuals who are pregnant, planning to conceive, or nursing, as well as those with certain medical conditions like liver or kidney disease, hypercalcaemia, or hypervitaminosis D, should inform their healthcare provider before using Sorvate Ointment 20 gm.

It is important to note that Sorvate Ointment 20 gm is not recommended for children under two years of age. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth while using this medication, and in case of accidental exposure, thoroughly rinse the affected areas with water.
