Xamiol Gel is a powerful prescription medication that belongs to the class of corticosteroids and vitamin D analogues. It contains two active ingredients: Calcipotriol and Betamethasone, which work together in a uniquely formulated gel base. While using Xamiol Gel, some people may experience mild side effects such as itching, skin irritation, burning sensation, or redness where it’s applied. If you’re planning to use this product, you should know that it’s for topical use only, should not be used on your face, and needs careful application. Always follow your doctor’s advice when using this gel — a little goes a long way!

Gently apply a thin layer of Xamiol Gel directly to the affected area of the skin once daily, ideally at the same time each day to maintain consistency.

The recommended dose is usually a small amount applied once a day, with a maximum limit of 100 grams per week for adults unless advised otherwise by your doctor.

Xamiol Gel has a shelf life of approximately 2 years from the date of manufacture, but always check the packaging for the exact expiry date.

Keep Xamiol Gel stored below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Do not refrigerate or freeze.
