How it works
Calposis Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Calcipotriol and Clobetasol. Calcipotriol is a form of vitamin D that works by reducing the overproduction of skin cells that may build up and form scales on the skin. Clobetasol is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy.
