Sorifix Ointment (Calcipotriol & Betamethasone Dipropionate)
Sorifix Ointment is a potent, dual-action topical medication specifically formulated for the treatment of stable plaque psoriasis. It combines two powerful active ingredients: Calcipotriol, a Vitamin D analogue, and Betamethasone Dipropionate, a strong corticosteroid. Calcipotriol works by slowing down the overproduction of skin cells that causes plaque buildup, while Betamethasone reduces the inflammation, redness, and itching associated with psoriasis flares. This synergistic combination provides a more effective treatment than either ingredient used alone, helping to clear psoriasis plaques and restore the skin’s appearance. The ointment base provides an occlusive effect, which enhances the penetration of the active ingredients and helps to deeply hydrate dry, scaly skin.
Key Features
- Combines a Vitamin D analogue with a corticosteroid to target both cell turnover and inflammation.

- Quickly reduces the intense itching and redness often experienced during flare-ups.
- The rich ointment vehicle locks in moisture to soothe extremely dry, thickened skin.

Precautions
- Excessive use on large areas of the body can affect calcium metabolism; do not exceed the recommended weekly dose.
- Prolonged use of high-potency steroids can lead to skin thinning (atrophy) or stretch marks. Follow your doctor’s timeline strictly.
- Do not apply to the face, scalp, genitals, or skin folds (underarms/groin) unless specifically instructed.
- Calcipotriol may increase skin sensitivity to UV light. Limit exposure to sunlight or tanning beds during treatment.
- Wash hands thoroughly after application to prevent accidental transfer to the eyes or face.
How to Use
- Wash the affected area and pat dry. Do not apply the ointment to broken or infected skin.
- Apply a thin layer of Sorifix Ointment directly to the psoriasis plaques once daily, or as directed by your dermatologist.
