About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Melan 10mg Tablet contains Methoxsalen 10mg, a psoralen derivative used primarily in the treatment of vitiligo and psoriasis. Methoxsalen acts by intercalating into DNA and, upon exposure to ultraviolet A (UVA) light, forms cross-links that inhibit DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. This photochemotherapy approach, known as PUVA therapy, helps to restore pigmentation in depigmented skin patches and reduce psoriatic lesions. Melan 10mg is indicated for patients requiring controlled photochemotherapy to manage these dermatological conditions. The tablet should be administered orally, typically 1 to 2 hours before UVA exposure, to ensure optimal drug absorption and efficacy. Dosage and treatment duration must be individualized based on patient response and tolerance, with careful monitoring for potential adverse effects such as nausea, headache, and photosensitivity reactions. Caution is advised in patients with hepatic impairment, a history of skin cancer, or those taking other photosensitizing agents. Regular follow-up is essential to assess therapeutic outcomes and minimize risks. Melan 10mg Tablet should be used under strict medical supervision, adhering to recommended guidelines to maximize benefits while reducing the likelihood of phototoxicity and long-term complications.

About Methoxsalen

Methoxsalen is a psoralen used in conjunction with ultraviolet A (UVA) light therapy to treat psoriasis and vitiligo. It works by reducing the proliferation of skin cells and enhancing the effects of phototherapy. Methoxsalen is effective in managing skin conditions. Common side effects may include skin irritation and photosensitivity, but these usually resolve over time. In summary, Methoxsalen is important for managing skin disorders.

How It Works

Methoxsalen intercalates into DNA and, upon exposure to UVA light, induces apoptosis in rapidly dividing skin cells.
