CompositionMelanocyl Tablet is used to treat skin pigmentation disorders such as vitiligo and psoriasis. It helps the skin respond to controlled light therapy, supporting the gradual return of skin colour and improving scaly, itchy, or discoloured patches.
It belongs to a group of medicines called psoralens. It works by making the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, which, in combination with controlled light therapy, stimulates the production of skin pigment (melanin). Take it in the exact dose prescribed and at the timing your doctor advises, usually before your light therapy sessions.
Some general measures are an important part of treatment. These include protecting your skin and eyes from sunlight as advised, wearing UV-protective sunglasses if recommended, and attending all follow-up and light-therapy appointments.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any skin conditions, eye problems, or other medicines you take. Because it increases sensitivity to light, avoid extra sun exposure and follow your doctor's sun-protection advice carefully. If severe skin redness, blistering, or other reactions develop, stop the medicine and contact your doctor. Continue treatment for the full course your doctor recommends to get the best results.
