What medical conditions does Oxsoralen Lotion treat?

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic (long-term) autoimmune disorder where your overactive immune system causes skin cells to multiply up to ten times faster than normal. This creates areas of thickened, inflamed, red skin, often covered with silvery scales. Psoriasis can occur anywhere on your body but it most often affects the scalp, elbows, and knees. There are many treatments for psoriasis including topical, oral, and injectable medications. Ultraviolet light therapy is another treatment that may be combined with medications to help stop the appearance of psoriasis.

Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a chronic (long-term) autoimmune disorder that causes areas of your skin to lose pigmentation (color). It is thought to be due to an overactive immune system attacking and destroying your skin cells that make color, which causes your skin to turn a milky-white color. There is no cure for vitiligo, but treatments such as topical medications and UV light therapy may help your skin tone appear more even.

Oxsoralen Lotion may also be used to treat other skin conditions as determined by your healthcare provider.

What is the active ingredient in Oxsoralen Lotion?

Generic name of Oxsoralen Lotion: methoxsalen topical

Oxsoralen Lotion is a topical medication that belongs to a drug class called psoralens. It is a photosensitizer that absorbs and makes your skin sensitive to ultraviolet A (UVA) light. When combined with UVA light, methoxsalen helps stop your skin cells from multiplying and improves color and thickness.

General Drug Information

What does Oxsoralen Lotion do?

Oxsoralen Lotion is a topical psoralen that can be combined with light therapy to help treat certain skin conditions such as psoriasis and vitiligo. However, the use of topical psoralens like Oxsoralen Lotion has largely been discontinued because it produces a higher rate of side effects, and has been replaced by oral psoralens.

How do you take Oxsoralen Lotion?

Always read the patient information leaflet before using this and any other medication.

Do not sunbathe or use a tanning bed for 24 hours before using Oxsoralen Lotion and having the UVA light treatment.

This medicine should only be applied by your healthcare provider to a well-defined area of your skin before it is exposed to UVA light.

After exposure to UVA light, wash the treated area of the skin with soap and water. You should then use sunscreen or wear protective clothing to cover and protect the area for at least 12 to 48 hours following treatment.
