Soralen DS Tablet

Soralen Ds Tablet contains Trioxsalen (25mg). Prescription required.

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

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.

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.

Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, headache, dizziness, itching, redness/sunburn-like reaction, skin darkening, dry skin

For use only under medical supervision with planned UVA exposure. Risk of severe photosensitivity and burns—avoid sunlight and use protective clothing/sunscreen as directed. Wear UVA-protective sunglasses during and after dosing to reduce cataract risk. Long-term PUVA may increase risk of skin aging and skin cancers; regular skin and eye monitoring recommended. Use caution in liver disease and in patients with history of photosensitivity disorders.

Other photosensitizing medicines (tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, thiazides, sulfonamides, retinoids), methoxsalen/other psoralens, St. John’s wort, drugs affecting liver enzymes (may alter psoralen levels)

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
