Steroid creams: Dovonex is often used in combination with steroid creams to enhance the therapeutic effect in the treatment of psoriasis. However, this combination should be used under strict medical supervision, as simultaneous use may increase the risk of side effects such as thinning of the skin.
Vitamin D creams: Since the active ingredient in Dovonex ointment, calcipotriol, is a vitamin D derivative, its use with other skin preparations containing vitamin D or its derivatives is not recommended to avoid overexposure to vitamin D.
