Overview Macsoralen Tablet

Methoxsalen tablets, administered alongside controlled ultraviolet light therapy, provide effective management of specific skin conditions such as vitiligo and psoriasis. Dosage and treatment length for these tablets, taken post-prandially, are determined by your physician; this timing enhances absorption and mitigates nausea. Prescribed dosage is individualized based on your response and disease severity. Continue treatment as directed; premature cessation may lead to symptom recurrence and disease exacerbation. Inform your doctor of all concurrent medications, as interactions are possible. Common, usually transient side effects include nausea, pruritus, and erythema. Report any concerning side effects immediately. Drowsiness and dizziness are also possible; avoid driving or mentally demanding tasks until effects are known. Alcohol consumption should be avoided due to increased dizziness risk. Increased sun sensitivity is a known effect; utilize sunscreen and protective clothing during outdoor exposure. Avoid sun exposure to skin and lips for at least eight hours post-treatment.
