The Efficacy, Safety and Tolerance of Calcitriol 3 μg/g Ointment in the Treatment of Plaque Psoriasis: A Comparison with Short-Contact Dithranol

Abstract

Twice-daily calcitriol ointment (3 microg/g) is equally effective as a once-daily, short-contact dithranol regimen. However, calcitriol is better tolerated than dithranol, and provides a better QOL and a greater patient acceptability.
