About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Melcyl 10mg Tablet contains Methoxsalen, a psoralen derivative used primarily in the treatment of skin disorders such as 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 cellular proliferation. This mechanism helps to restore pigmentation in vitiligo and reduce hyperproliferation in psoriatic lesions. Melcyl 10mg is typically administered orally prior to UVA phototherapy sessions, with the timing and dosage carefully adjusted by healthcare professionals to optimize therapeutic outcomes while minimizing adverse effects. The medication requires strict adherence to UVA exposure guidelines to prevent phototoxic reactions. Common side effects may include nausea, headache, dizziness, and photosensitivity. Long-term use necessitates regular monitoring due to the potential risk of phototoxicity and increased susceptibility to skin malignancies. Melcyl 10mg should be used under medical supervision, with contraindications including hypersensitivity to Methoxsalen, pregnancy, and certain hepatic or renal impairments. Patients are advised to avoid excessive sunlight and use protective measures during treatment. This medication represents an effective adjunct in photochemotherapy protocols for select dermatological conditions.

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.
