Patient Education

Calcitriol Topical


Calcitriol topical is used to treat mild to moderate plaque psoriasis (a skin disease in which red, scaly patches form on some areas of the body) in adults and children 2 years of age and older. Calcitriol is in a class of medications called vitamin D analogs. It works by helping to stop the production of extra skin cells that may build up and form scales on the skin and by decreasing the activity of immune cells in the skin.
