Unisorlen 5mg Tablet 10 is used to treat skin conditions such as vitiligo and psoriasis. It belongs to a class of medications called photosensitisers, which work by making the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet light.

In addition to treating vitiligo, which causes white patches on the skin due to loss of pigment, this medicine is also used for managing psoriasis. Psoriasis is a condition where skin cells build up rapidly, creating scaly patches that can be itchy and uncomfortable.

This medicine should be taken as directed by your doctor. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before beginning this treatment. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, inform your doctor immediately. Continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Unisorlen 5mg Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some ways to manage common side effects:

Unisorlen 5mg Tablet 10 contains trioxsalen (5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

Photosensitisation: Trioxsalen makes your skin more sensitive to ultraviolet light, particularly UV-A rays, which is essential for its therapeutic effect.
DNA cross-linking: When activated by UV light, trioxsalen creates links between DNA strands in skin cells, which can help control the excessive growth of skin cells seen in conditions like psoriasis.
Re-pigmentation: In vitiligo treatment, trioxsalen helps restore colour to white patches by stimulating pigment-producing cells when combined with controlled UV-A exposure.
Cell regulation: The medicine helps normalise the rapid turnover of skin cells that occurs in psoriasis, reducing the formation of scaly patches.
