Description
Lucoderm Tablets contain Trioxsalen, a psoralen derivative used in the treatment of vitiligo and psoriasis. This medication works by increasing the skin’s sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) light, which helps to repigment discolored patches in vitiligo and slow down the rapid growth of skin cells in psoriasis. It is often used in combination with UV-A light therapy to achieve optimal results.
Dosage/Directions:
The typical dosage for adults is one tablet taken orally, usually after meals, as prescribed by a healthcare professional. The exact dosage and duration of treatment depend on the patient’s condition and response to therapy. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and avoid excessive exposure to sunlight or artificial UV light during treatment.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include nausea, itching, and redness of the skin. Patients may also experience increased sensitivity to sunlight, leading to sunburn. Rarely, severe side effects such as allergic reactions or skin blistering may occur. If any severe side effects are experienced, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider immediately.
