Methoxsalen (Oxsoralen, 8-MOP) Shortage - Bayview Pharmacy Can Help!
Posted on Tue, Nov 17, 2009 @ 02:33 PM
Methoxsalen is anticipated to be on backorder until July of 2010.
Methoxsalen belongs to the group of medicines called psoralens. It is used along with ultraviolet light in a treatment called PUVA to treat vitiligo, a disease in which skin color is lost, and psoriasis, a skin condition associated with red and scaly patches.
Methoxsalen is also used with ultraviolet light in the treatment of white blood cells. This treatment is called photopheresis and is used to treat the skin problems associated with mycosis fungoides, which is a type of lymphoma.
Bayview Pharmacy, Rhode Island's premier compounding pharmacy, has access to the pure Methoxsalen powder and can compound Methoxsalen either in capsule form or as a topical lotion to meet your needs, and we can ship to your location throughout the USA.
