What is Daivobet Ointment?
Daivobet Ointment is a topical immunosuppressant prescribed to treat mild to severe psoriasis. The medication operates by suppressing immune responses to reduce swelling, irritation, redness, and itchiness that are caused by allergens and associated with this condition. This helps to reduce the appearance of painful or flaky patches appearing on the skin. Your health care provider may prescribe it to be used along with other medications or to treat other unlisted conditions.

How is Daivobet Ointment used?
Daivobet Ointment should only be used as directed by a doctor, usually once per day for up to 4 weeks. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the therapy. The maximum recommended dosage per week is 100 grams. Wash and dry your hands and the affected area prior to applying the ointment. Apply a thin layer of the medication to the affected area and gently massage it in until it disappears. Do not wrap the treated area with dressing or wear tight clothing unless specifically told to do so by a doctor.
