24R-Calcipotriol is primarily used in the treatment of psoriasis, a chronic skin condition characterized by rapid skin cell growth. It works by slowing down the excessive proliferation of skin cells and reducing inflammation, helping to normalize skin cell production and improve the appearance of affected areas. This compound is often formulated into topical creams, ointments, or solutions for direct application to the skin. It is particularly effective in managing plaque psoriasis, one of the most common forms of the disease. Additionally, it is sometimes combined with corticosteroids to enhance its therapeutic effects, providing both anti-inflammatory and skin-normalizing benefits. Regular use can lead to significant improvement in skin texture, scaling, and redness, offering relief to patients with mild to moderate psoriasis.
