Uses

Psoriasis Treatment: Trioxsalen is used in the treatment of psoriasis, particularly in combination with UVA (ultraviolet A) light therapy (PUVA therapy).

 

Vitiligo Management: Helps in the treatment of vitiligo by increasing pigmentation in the skin when exposed to UVA light.

 

Skin Disorders: May be used for other skin conditions where pigmentation is desired or where the skin is overly sensitive to sunlight.

 

Effects on the Body

Pigmentation: Trioxsalen increases the skin’s sensitivity to UVA light, promoting melanin production and leading to darkening or re-pigmentation of the skin.

 

DNA Interaction: The drug works by binding to the DNA of skin cells, which, when activated by UVA light, causes changes that lead to increased pigmentation.

Photosensitization: Makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight, which is crucial for its therapeutic effects but also requires careful monitoring and protection.

 

Long-term Skin Improvement: Helps in gradually improving skin conditions like vitiligo or psoriasis over a series of treatments.

How to Use

As Prescribed: Take Trioxsalen exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, usually before exposure to UVA light.

 

Timing: Typically, the tablet is taken 2-4 hours before UVA light exposure.

 

Follow Light Therapy: It must be used in combination with controlled UVA light exposure (PUVA therapy), under medical supervision.

 

Consistent Use: Adhere to the treatment schedule for optimal results in managing skin conditions.

Precautions

Sun Protection: After taking Trioxsalen, protect your skin from natural sunlight to avoid severe burns or other reactions. Wear protective clothing, and use broad-spectrum sunscreen.

 

Monitor Skin: Regularly check your skin for any unusual changes, blistering, or severe reactions, and report these to your healthcare provider.

Avoid Overexposure: Strictly follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the duration and intensity of UVA exposure to prevent damage to the skin.

 

Consult a Doctor: Discuss any history of skin cancer or photosensitivity disorders with your healthcare provider before using this medication.

 

Avoid if Pregnant/Breastfeeding: Consult with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using Trioxsalen.
