What is Soralen DS Tab used for?

Used in PUVA therapy for vitiligo (leucoderma) and psoriasis; may also be prescribed for other phototherapy-responsive skin conditions as advised by a dermatologist.

How Soralen DS Tab Works

Psoralen is a photosensitizing agent that intercalates with DNA in skin cells. When activated by UVA light (PUVA), it modifies cell proliferation and immune activity in the skin, helping repigmentation in vitiligo and reducing plaque formation in psoriasis.

Dosage & Directions

Take exactly as prescribed by the doctor, usually 1.5–2 hours before scheduled UVA exposure/phototherapy. Swallow whole with water; taking with food or milk may reduce nausea. Avoid additional sun exposure on treatment days; wear UVA-protective sunglasses and protective clothing as advised.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
