Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 I wonder if anyone has had any experiences with Dovobet. How fast does it work? Have any teenagers used it? Why do creams have a low compliance rate? Please let me know as soon as possible. If at all possible before my appointment on Wednesday 09:00 GMT Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Hi Rob I used Dovobet last year. It was fantastic. Cleared up skin in days, but due to the nature of the cream you cannot use it for long and the flare up afterwards was twice as bad. My hospital will not recommend it now due to the after effects.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Hi I used Dovobet on my arms and back. It started working within the first couple of days and was clear within 2 weeks and I stopped using it. The patches on my arms & legs (which had been there for a few years!) have not returned and have had no after effects but I keep the areas moisturised. The patches on my back cleared up at first and then returned but better than they were. This is my own fault though because of my PA I couldn't reach around to put the cream on so that area didn't get the same attention as my arms & legs. Hope this is of help. Jackie [Ed.

I have a cream called Dovenex. Is this the same thing. I'm in the U.S. Where are you? Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Hi I am in Scotland. Dovenex is a different cream - its calcipotriol only whereas Dovobet is a mix of calcipotriol and a potent corticosteroid (betamethasone dipropionate (Diprosone)). It can only be used for plaque psoriasis on less than 30% of the body surface and can't be used on your scalp, face or places where there are folds of skin. Its the only thing that really worked on my psoriasis but you can only use it continuously for a limited time like all steroid creams.
