Once-daily treatment with Xamiol gel could prove to be highly beneficial in providing relief to patients suffering itching, flaking, and soreness caused by scalp psoriasis. During a recent study, it was highlighted that Xamiol gel, which is now available on prescription, has the unique ability to work wonders for relieving patients with scalp psoriasis.

This gel combines the effects of steroid and a Vitamin D like agent and includes calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate that help in enhancing life quality of patients along with playing a good role as a second-line alternative.

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.

It was remarked by Dr Girish Gupta, Consultant Dermatologist from Monklands Hospital, Lanarkshire, that Xamiol gel has a unique formulation that makes it very effective for providing help and relief to patients suffering from scalp psoriasis.
