Do You Struggle With Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is caused by overactive skin cells growing faster than the body can shed them. During flare-ups this causes the skin to become red, raised and flaky – with irritation to boot.

If you have psoriasis, no doubt you’ve tried many different treatment options. Some may work a bit, others not so well. You may have even given up looking for a solution, deciding instead to just grin and bear it.

Don’t give up hope
Daivobet® 50/500 gel is a once a day treatment that combines calcipotriol (which treats overactive skin cells) and betamethasone dipropionate (which relieves redness, swelling and itching). Daivobet® gel is alcohol free and can even be used in areas where there is hair, including the scalp. Better still, it’s fully funded on the Pharmaceutical Schedule!

Real, clinical results
Daivobet® gel has been proven to be effective in the treatment of plaque psoriasis, with many people experiencing an improvement within 2 weeks.

Talk to your doctor
Daivobet® gel is a prescription medicine, so you will have to talk to your GP or dermatologist to see if it is right for you. You can find more information on Daivobet® gel and psoriasis at www.daivobet.co.nz.

The key is to never stop looking
After trying so many different treatments it is understandable that you may have given up hope – up to a third of people with psoriasis haven’t had their treatment reviewed by their GP in five years! Other treatments, such as Daivobet® gel, do come along so it is worth staying on the case.

You can listen to Erica’s story here about how she was successful in finding a solution to her psoriasis after living with it for many, many years.
