Follow these instructions while using Neosoralen Lotion 15 ML:

• Shake the bottle well before each use.

• Clean and dry the affected skin area thoroughly before application.

• Apply a thin layer of the lotion evenly on the affected areas only.

• Wash your hands immediately after application to avoid spreading to other areas.

• Do not apply to open wounds or infected skin.

• Avoid direct sunlight for at least 8 hours after applying the lotion.

• Wear protective clothing when going outdoors after application.

Neosoralen Lotion 15 ML is applied topically.

Neosoralen Lotion 15 ML contains trioxsalen (0.2% w/v), which works on the body as follows:

• Photosensitisation: Trioxsalen increases your skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet A (UVA) light, which is necessary for the treatment to be effective.

• DNA Cross-linking: When activated by UVA light, trioxsalen sticks to the DNA in skin cells and links the strands together, which can slow down or change how the cells grow and divide.

• Melanocyte Stimulation: The interaction with DNA promotes melanin production by pigment-producing cells, which helps restore normal skin colour in vitiligo-affected areas.

• Cell Growth Regulation: In psoriatic skin, the medicine slows the rapid division of skin cells, helping to reduce the formation of scaly patches.

• Store Neosoralen Lotion 15 ML below 25°C.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

• Protect from direct sunlight and heat.

• Store away from moisture.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Avoid foods that increase light sensitivity during your treatment, such as limes, figs, parsley, mustard, carrots, and celery, as these can worsen your skin's reaction to UV light.

• Wear protective clothing (long sleeves or hats) and use high SPF sunscreen when outdoors to protect your skin while managing vitiligo with Neosoralen Lotion 15 ML.
