Pasitrex Ointment is a topical medication primarily used to treat mild to moderately severe psoriasis. It contains calcipotriol (0.005% w/w), a synthetic form of vitamin D3, which works by slowing down the overproduction of skin cells, thereby reducing the red, scaly patches characteristic of psoriasis.
