Trimop Forte Tablet – Advanced Therapy for Vitiligo & Psoriasis

Trimop Forte Tablet contains Trioxsalen, a photosensitizing agent used in the treatment of vitiligo and psoriasis in combination with ultraviolet (UV) light therapy. It enhances the skin’s response to light, helping to restore skin pigmentation in vitiligo and reduce scaling and thickening in psoriasis. This prescription-only oral medication works by activating pigment-producing skin cells (melanocytes) and regulating abnormal skin cell growth. TRIMOP FORTE is typically used as part of a PUVA (Psoralen + UVA) treatment protocol under medical supervision.

Key Benefits of Trimop Forte Tablet:

• Supports repigmentation of white patches in vitiligo
• Slows abnormal skin cell growth in psoriasis
• Enhances UV light therapy effectiveness
• Helps reduce inflammation, redness, and irritation

Therapeutic Uses

• Vitiligo (loss of skin pigment in patches)
• Psoriasis (itchy, scaly rashes on skin)

How Trimop Forte Tablet Works?

Trimop Forte activates melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) in the skin when exposed to UVA light. This promotes melanin production and aids in restoring natural skin color in vitiligo. In psoriasis, it slows the rapid multiplication of skin cells, reducing scaling, inflammation, and discomfort.
