Using calcipotriol with other medicines and herbal supplements - Brand name: Dovonex

Cautions with other medicines

Using calcipotriol with other medicines that may increase the amount of calcium in your blood can increase the risk of side effects.

Tell your pharmacist or doctor if you're taking or using:

  • bendroflumethiazide, or other thiazide diuretics (tablets that make you pee more)
  • oestrogens
  • anabolic steroids
  • parathyroid hormone or parathyroid hormone analogues such as teriparatide

Mixing calcipotriol with herbal remedies and supplements

Tell a pharmacist or doctor if you're taking or using:

  • other vitamin D products
  • calcium supplements

They may increase the risk of side effects.

There's not enough information to say that other herbal remedies or supplements are safe to take with calcipotriol. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy or prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Important: Medicine safety

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
