Important information about Oxsoralen-Ultra

How does Oxsoralen-Ultra work?

The active ingredient in Oxsoralen-Ultra is methoxsalen, which is a psoralen. It works as a photosensitiser, which means it absorbs light and increases your skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation (UVA rays). When combined with UVA light, methoxsalen causes DNA damage in your skin cells, resulting in inflammation. This prevents skin cells from multiplying (growing), and after a few days or weeks, your skin cells recover with improved color and thickness.

How do you use Oxsoralen-Ultra?

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide, before using Oxsoralen-Ultra. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Oxsoralen-Ultra:

  • Oxsoralen-Ultra dosages are weight-based. Please notify your doctor if you gain or lose weight.
  • You'll take Oxsoralen-Ultra a particular number of hours before your UVA therapy. Soft gelatin capsules (Oxsoralen-Ultra) are better absorbed than hard gelatin capsules (8-MOP). The timing of your dose is determined by the sort of capsule you're taking.
  • You may need to continue taking Oxsoralen-Ultra for a short time following UVA treatment. Follow your doctor's dosing recommendations carefully.
  • If this medication irritates your stomach, take it with low-fat food or milk instead.
  • Do not sunbathe or use a tanning bed during the 24 hours before methoxsalen ingestion and UVA exposure.
  • After your UVA treatment, you’ll need to continue protecting your skin and eyes for 24 to 48 hours. Avoid any sun exposure, even indoors near windows. Wear protective clothing like long sleeves, a hat, gloves, and apply SPF 30+ sunscreen to all uncovered skin. Most importantly, wear UVA-protective wraparound sunglasses, even inside, for at least 24 hours. Without proper protection, you may risk developing cataracts.

What are the side effects of Oxsoralen-Ultra?

The most common side effects of Oxsoralen-Ultra include:

  • Nausea.
  • Nervousness or anxiety.
  • Difficulty sleeping (insomnia).
  • Blistering, skin redness, and itching (when used with UVA therapy)

Some individuals may experience serious side effects while using Oxsoralen-Ultra. These side effects may require immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following, contact your healthcare provider or seek emergency medical help:

  • Allergic reactions include itching, red skin rash (hives), shortness of breath, chest tightness, and swelling of the lips, tongue, face, or eyes.
  • Increased risk of skin cancer, basal cell cancer, and cataracts when used with UVA therapy.

These are not all of the possible side effects of Oxsoralen-Ultra. You should always seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns about your medical condition or treatment. Read all patient information, medication guides, or drug information sheets that come with this medication. You can also report adverse effects to the Food and Drug Administration at www.fda.gov/medwatch or 1-800-FDA-1088.

What are the warnings or precautions for Oxsoralen-Ultra?

Before starting Oxsoralen-Ultra, it is crucial to discuss any existing health conditions with your healthcare provider. You should be sure that your healthcare provider is aware of all your medical conditions, including whether you have:

  • Lupus, porphyria, albinism, or skin conditions that cause increased sensitivity to light.
  • A history of skin cancer (melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma).
  • Surgery, an accident, or a genetic condition can all cause damage to the lens of the eyes.
  • Heart disease.
  • Liver or kidney disease.
  • Cataracts.
  • Basal cell carcinoma.
  • Extreme sensitivity to sunlight (if you sunburn easily).
  • Radiation or X-ray therapy, as well as arsenic trioxide treatment.
  • Erythema.

Boxed Warning

Methoxsalen should only be used by doctors experienced in treating conditions like cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, psoriasis, or vitiligo using phototherapy. It carries serious risks, including skin cancer, eye damage, and premature skin aging. Photochemotherapy should be reserved for severe psoriasis unresponsive to other treatments. The soft gelatin capsule (Oxsoralen-Ultra) is not interchangeable with other methoxsalen forms due to its higher absorption and faster effects. The topical lotion is highly potent and can cause serious burns if not applied correctly. It should only be used under medical supervision.

Are there any contraindications with Oxsoralen-Ultra?

  • Lupus erythematosus, albinism, or other medical disorders that cause light sensitivity.
  • Melanoma history.
  • Squamous cell cancer.
  • Aphakia (absence of lenses in one or both eyes).
  • Adverse reactions to the medication.

How long does it take Oxsoralen-Ultra to work?

Skin lesions may take between 6 and 8 weeks to resolve. Long-term treatment is usually required to keep psoriasis symptoms under control. Consult your healthcare practitioner about your treatment goals.

What interacts with Oxsoralen-Ultra?

  • Anthralin.
  • Certain antibiotics or sulfa medications.
  • Some antibacterial soaps.
  • Thiazide diuretics.
  • Coal tar applied on the skin or scalp, such as Neutrogena T/Gel, Psoriasin, and Tegrin Medicated.
  • Fluphenazine, prochlorperazine, thioridazine, and other medications are used to treat mental illnesses.
  • Griseofulvin products.
  • A staining dye like methylene blue, toluidine blue, rose bengal, or methyl orange.

What doses of Oxsoralen-Ultra are available?

The dose of methoxsalen is determined by your body weight, and the number of doses you will receive per week relies on your UVA radiation therapy plan; nevertheless, all doses must be separated by at least two days. Older folks are often started on lower doses. Take your dose 1.5 to 2 hours before your scheduled UVA radiation treatment.

Methoxsalen is currently accessible as a softgel methoxsalen capsule. Compared to the previous dosage form available on the market, this new capsule form is more easily absorbed in your body and works faster.
