Pigolyn Cream 20Gm

Pigolyn Cream 20gm is used to manage vitiligo.

Uses of Pigolyn Cream 20gm are:

• Vitiligo: Helps restore skin colour in areas affected by pigment loss, when combined with UVA phototherapy.
• Psoriasis: Helps manage red, scaly skin patches as part of a combined light-therapy treatment plan.

Follow these instructions while using Pigolyn Cream 20gm:

• Clean and dry the affected skin area thoroughly before application.
• Apply a thin layer of the cream 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 cream.
• Wear protective clothing when going outdoors after application.

Pigolyn Cream 20gm is applied topically.

Pigolyn Cream 20gm 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 in a cool and dry place.
• 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 Pigolyn Cream 20gm.
