Calcipotriene may cause irritation of the effected area - s of your skin for a short time after you have applied it. Sometimes it may also cause irritation of the surrounding normal skin. If this happens, try not to scratch the area.
If the irritation continues, if you develop rash on your face, or if the drug causes any other problems for you, stop using the drug and check with your family doctor .
You may have to see your family doctor regularly while using this drug so that your family doctor can check for any side effects, especially an increase in the level of calcium in your blood or urine, because this may lead to kidney stone formation.
Your family doctor may tell you when you must expect to notice an improvement in your condition - usually within 2 to 8 weeks. If your condition has not improved by then or if it becomes worse, check with your family doctor.
