Posology
Xamiol gel should be applied to affected areas once daily. The
recommended treatment
period is 4 weeks for scalp areas and 8 weeks for “non-scalp”
areas. If it is necessary to
continue or restart treatment after this period, treatment should be
continued after
medical review and under regular medical supervision.
When using calcipotriol containing
medicinal products, the maximum daily dose should
not exceed 15 g. The body surface area treated with calcipotriol
containing medicinal
products should not exceed 30% (see section 4.4).
