Xamiol Gel effective in offering much-awaited relief for scalp psoriasis

In aim to help patients suffering from flaking, itching, and soreness that are caused by scalp psoriasis (a common condition), once-daily treatment gel (Xamiol Gel) can prove highly effective. The gel available on prescription is effective since it combines the effect of a steroid and a Vitamin D-like ingredient.

This wonder gel contains calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate and is helpful in improving the quality of life of patients along with expanding treatment alternatives for the treatment of scalp psoriasis.

It is noteworthy to note here that it is believed that there are approximately 1.2 million victims of Psoriasis in the UK alone and 80 percent of this victim population has scalp psoriasis.

Typical scalp psoriasis treatments include coal tar, dithranol, salicylic acid, steroid creams and ointments, as well as Vitamin D based treatments. In the past, patients have expressed their dissatisfaction with certain treatments, for being ineffective, difficult to apply, making the hair look dirty or smelling strongly. This in turn can affect their willingness to stick to treatment routines. This new combination is an almost clear and odourless gel that is simply applied once-daily: for example in the evening, then left on overnight and washed out the following morning.

“The Psoriasis Association welcomes the introduction of new therapies such as Xamiol that can improve the quality of life of patients and expand the treatment options for this frustrating and traditionally difficult to treat condition”, commented Helen McAteer, Information Officer for the Psoriasis Association.

Xamiol Gel has a formulation that makes it highly effective and easy to be used by people suffering from scalp psoriasis, as per Dr Girish Gupta, Consultant Dermatologist from Monklands Hospital, Lanarkshire.
