Dsorolen Lotion belongs to a class of medicines called 'photosensitizer', which are used in the treatment of psoriasis and vitiligo. Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, itchy, scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp. Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin loses its pigment cells (melanocytes). This can result in discoloured patches in different areas of the body, including the skin, hair, and mucous membranes.

Dsorolen Lotion contains “trioxsalen”, which is a photosensitive medication used along with UV-A rays. In psoriasis, it works by reducing the overproduction of skin cells. In vitiligo, it activates certain skin cells (melanocytes) and helps re-pigment the discoloured, white patches.

Dsorolen Lotion is an external preparation. Do not consume it. In case of accidental ingestion, seek immediate medical help. Use it as advised by your physician. Do not apply in larger or smaller amounts than recommended. You may have common side effects like erythema (skin redness), blisters on the skin, edema (swelling), and itching. These side effects resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist, stop using it and consult your doctor.

Dsorolen Lotion should not be used if you are allergic to it. Inform your doctor if you are using any topical medicines other than this medicine and if you are pregnant/breastfeeding. It should be used with caution in patients who are allergic to sunlight, porphyria, heart disease, cataracts, skin cancers and lupus erythematosus condition.
