Abstract
|
|
|
Calcipotriol, a synthetic analogue of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) is as active as calcitriol in inducing cell differentiation and inhibiting cell proliferation but at least 100 times less active than calcitriol in its effect on calcium
metabolism.
We report a case of psoriasis in a 28 year old male who was treated with calcipotriol ointment on the right forearm. The therapeutic effect of calcipotriol ointment was compared with desoxymethasone cream applied on the left forearm. Both topical
agents
reuced equally the degrees of scale, erythema and thickness of the lesions. We observed that the calcipotriol ointment was effective in the treatment of psoriasis in this case.
