How should I use Ultramop?
Ultramop Capsules: For vitiligo, the usual dose for adults and children over 12 years of age is 20 mg daily, taken 1.5 to 2 hours (for the regular capsules) or 2 to 4 hours (for the soft gelatin capsules) before exposure to sunlight or UV light treatment. For psoriasis or atopic dermatitis, the dose is based on body weight and taken 1.5 to 2 hours before UV light therapy. Ultramop should be taken after meals or with milk.
Ultramop Lotion: For vitiligo, apply once weekly to a few depigmented areas (areas that are missing skin colour) and expose to UV light for a maximum of one minute. Alternate the sites where you apply the Ultramop. If you are using both the capsules and the lotion, protect the areas where the lotion has been applied from daily exposure to UV light.
