Medicine Description daivonex 0.005%
Daivonex 0.005% Cream is a medication that combines calcipotriol and calcitriol, both of which are forms of vitamin D. Its primary action involves modulating skin cell proliferation and differentiation. Calcipotriol inhibits the excessive growth of skin cells typical in psoriasis while calcitriol plays a role in regulating the immune response in the skin.
