Overview Macsoralen Lotion

Oxsoralen Lotion, a medication used in conjunction with controlled UV light therapy, effectively treats specific dermatological conditions such as vitiligo and psoriasis. This lotion is for external application only, strictly under a physician's guidance. Ensure the affected skin is clean and dry before use. Always wash your hands meticulously before and after application. Consistent use is crucial for optimal results; avoid overuse, as this won't accelerate healing and may increase adverse reactions. Report any persistent symptoms (longer than four weeks) or worsening condition to your doctor. Maintaining cleanliness of affected areas enhances treatment efficacy. Typical side effects include localized redness, blistering, swelling, and itching. Prolonged side effects warrant medical consultation. Avoid eye contact; rinse immediately with water and seek medical help if contact occurs. Common reactions include burning, irritation, redness, and itching at the application site. Photosensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure for at least eight hours post-treatment, using sunscreen and protective clothing. Oxsoralen Lotion is unsuitable for children under twelve. Dietary restrictions include avoiding grapefruit, figs, parsley, parsnips, mustard greens, carrots, and celery due to potential increased photosensitivity.
