Psorin

Psorin is a type of medication used in the treatment of psoriasis, a chronic skin disease characterized by red, itchy, and scaly patches. Psorin is a topical medication, meaning it is applied directly to the skin. It is typically used in combination with other treatments, such as phototherapy or other medications.

Mechanism of Action

Psorin works by slowing down the growth of skin cells, thus reducing the appearance of psoriasis patches. It is a type of retinoid, a class of drugs derived from Vitamin A. Retinoids are known to regulate the growth and differentiation of cells, which is why they are effective in treating conditions like psoriasis.

Usage

Psorin is usually applied once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the healthcare professional or on the packaging to ensure the medication is used correctly and safely.

Side Effects

Like all medications, Psorin can cause side effects. Common side effects include skin irritation, redness, and peeling. If these side effects persist or worsen, it is recommended to contact a healthcare professional.

Precautions

Before using Psorin, it is important to inform the healthcare professional about any allergies, medical history, or other medications being used. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult with their healthcare professional before using Psorin, as retinoids can potentially cause harm to the fetus or nursing infant.
