How Methoxsalen Tablets Work

Methoxsalen acts by increasing skin sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) light, aiding the repigmentation process in conditions like vitiligo and mitigating symptoms of psoriasis. When combined with controlled UV therapy, Methoxsalen encourages the formation of new pigment in affected skin areas, helping restore natural skin tone and improving overall appearance.


Proper Usage and Administration

These tablets are to be taken orally, strictly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Methoxsalen therapy typically requires following a specific schedule, often with UV light treatments. It is essential to avoid intentional exposure to sunlight after ingestion, as sensitivity increases and may lead to adverse reactions such as burns or redness.


Storage and Safety Instructions

Methoxsalen tablets should be stored in a cool, dry location, protected from direct light to maintain their efficacy. Always keep the medication in its original packaging, whether a blister pack, bottle, or box, and out of reach of children. Proper storage ensures the product's stability throughout its 36-month shelf life.
