Liposomal Dithranol

Uses

Liposomal Dithranol is used in the treatment of psoriasis.

How it Works

Liposomal Dithranol works by slowing the rapid growth of skin cells in psoriasis. This action reduces scaling and thickening of the skin.

Side Effects

Common side effects of liposomal dithranol include skin irritation, burning sensation, dry skin, erythema (skin redness), skin peeling, photosensitivity, and hypersensitivity.

Expert Advice

  • You have been prescribed Liposomal Dithranol for the treatment of stable chronic plaque-type psoriasis with no evidence of flare-up and a limited number of lesions (fewer than 20 lesions).
  • Healing of the lesions is typically observed within 3-5 weeks of application or even earlier.
  • This formulation causes minimal skin irritation, burning, and skin/fabric staining compared to the non-liposomal variant of Dithranol.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes and inside the nose, mouth, and all mucous membranes, as this may cause irritation.
  • Liposomal Dithranol is almost free of adverse effects.
  • However, inform your doctor if you experience any irritation after the application of this medicine.

Frequently asked questions

Clean and dry the affected area before application. Gently massage the medication into the skin, avoiding contact with eyes and mouth. If it accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor if irritation occurs.
No, avoid overusing Liposomal Dithranol for extended periods or on large skin areas, as this can lead to excessive absorption and serious side effects, including skin thinning. Consult your doctor if your symptoms worsen.
No, continue the full course of Liposomal Dithranol even if you feel better to ensure effective treatment.
If you forget to apply Liposomal Dithranol, resume use as soon as you remember. For any further questions, consult your doctor.
Avoid contact with eyes and mouth; rinse immediately with water if contact occurs and consult a doctor. Do not use if allergic to the medication or its ingredients. Inform your doctor of any allergies or other medications you are taking. Do not cover the treated area with a bandage, as this may increase absorption and side effects. Use only as directed and inform your doctor if you plan to conceive. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use Liposomal Dithranol only if prescribed.
