Oxsoralen^®

Oxsoralen^® contains the active ingredient methoxsalen.

The active ingredient methoxsalen is a medicinal product that is activated by UV radiation.

Methoxsalen is added to your white blood cells outside the body and activated by ultraviolet light (long-wave UV light). The white blood cells are then returned into your body. This process is called photophoresis. This allows diseased white blood cells to be destroyed.

Oxsoralen^® is used to alleviate the skin symptoms of the advanced stage of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (a tumour occurring in the skin and caused by specific white blood cells known as T-lymphocytes) when other treatments have not been effective.
