Medicine Description calci-top
calci top 100 ml syrup is a medication that primarily works by modulating the skin's immune response and regulating cell proliferation. Calcipotriol, the active ingredient, binds to vitamin D receptors in keratinocytes, leading to a reduction in the excessive growth of skin cells commonly seen in psoriasis. This action helps to normalize skin cell differentiation and proliferation, thereby decreasing inflammation and scaling associated with psoriatic lesions. Additionally, it exerts anti-inflammatory effects by influencing the activity of various immune cells, resulting in an overall improvement in skin condition.
