Outwardly. Ammifurin® is administered in combination with UV irradiation (UFR). Ammifurin® solution is applied to the lesions for 1 h before irradiation.

In common forms of the disease, the external application of the drug is combined with its ingestion.

With psoriasis, the procedures are carried out 4 times a week. UFOs start with 1/2 biodoside, gradually increase to 5-6 biodosomes, which corresponds (depending on the individual sensitivity of the patient to UV radiation) the duration of irradiation from 1-2 min to 10-15 min. The total amount of irradiation is 15-20 procedures. Treatment of patients with psoriasis can be carried out in combination with long-wave UV radiation.

With vitiligo, nest and total baldness irradiation is carried out 3 times a week (every other day) - 20-25 irradiations. A total of 4-6 courses.

Patients with limited foci of Ammifurin® are given only externally in the form of a 0.3% solution followed by UFO. The lesion is smeared with 0.3% Ammifurin® solution 1 hour before irradiation. The procedures are carried out 3-4 times a week. UFOs start with 1/2 biodoside, gradually increase to 5-6 biodosomes. The number of procedures depends on the results of treatment and amounts to a total of 20-25 exposures.
