Uses
Psoriasis Treatment:Â Trioxsalen is used in the treatment of psoriasis, particularly in combination with UVA (ultraviolet A) light therapy (PUVA therapy).
Â
Vitiligo Management:Â Helps in the treatment of vitiligo by increasing pigmentation in the skin when exposed to UVA light.
Â
Skin Disorders:Â May be used for other skin conditions where pigmentation is desired or where the skin is overly sensitive to sunlight.
Â
Effects on the Body
Pigmentation:Â Trioxsalen increases the skin’s sensitivity to UVA light, promoting melanin production and leading to darkening or re-pigmentation of the skin.
Â
DNA Interaction:Â 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:Â Makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight, which is crucial for its therapeutic effects but also requires careful monitoring and protection.
Â
Long-term Skin Improvement:Â Helps in gradually improving skin conditions like vitiligo or psoriasis over a series of treatments.
How to Use
As Prescribed:Â Take Trioxsalen exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, usually before exposure to UVA light.
Â
Timing:Â Typically, the tablet is taken 2-4 hours before UVA light exposure.
Â
Follow Light Therapy:Â It must be used in combination with controlled UVA light exposure (PUVA therapy), under medical supervision.
Â
Consistent Use:Â Adhere to the treatment schedule for optimal results in managing skin conditions.
Precautions
Sun Protection:Â After taking Trioxsalen, protect your skin from natural sunlight to avoid severe burns or other reactions. Wear protective clothing, and use broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Â
Monitor Skin:Â Regularly check your skin for any unusual changes, blistering, or severe reactions, and report these to your healthcare provider.
Avoid Overexposure:Â Strictly follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the duration and intensity of UVA exposure to prevent damage to the skin.
Â
Consult a Doctor:Â Discuss any history of skin cancer or photosensitivity disorders with your healthcare provider before using this medication.
Â
Avoid if Pregnant/Breastfeeding:Â Consult with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using Trioxsalen.
