About Octamop Forte Tablet 10

Octamop Forte Tablet is a medicine used in phototherapy for the treatment of severe skin conditions such as severe psoriasis and vitiligo. It belongs to a group of medicines called psoralens (furocoumarins) that sensitise skin cells to ultraviolet light.

It contains methoxsalen. Take this medicine strictly under a doctor's supervision at the exact time prescribed prior to ultraviolet light exposure. It is not a fast-acting tablet and requires regular, monitored treatment sessions to achieve noticeable clinical improvement.

During therapy, follow all skin protection advice provided by your doctor. Wear protective UV-blocking sunglasses and avoid exposure to natural sunlight for specified periods following each dose to prevent skin damage or severe sunburn.

Before starting treatment, your doctor will evaluate your overall health, including liver and kidney function, and assess your risk of UV sensitivity. Tell your doctor if you have a history of skin cancer, cataracts, or severe sun sensitivity. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
