Levulan Kerastick Solution

Generic Name: Aminolevulinic Acid Topical Solution (a-mee-no-LEV-U-lin-ik)
Brand Name: Levulan Kerastick

Levulan Kerastick Solution is used for:

Treating skin lesions called actinic keratoses on the face or scalp. It is used along with blue light treatment.

Levulan Kerastick Solution is a photosensitizing agent. It works by slowing the growth of skin cells in the areas exposed to blue light, which helps the skin to become less scaly and thick.

Do NOT use Levulan Kerastick Solution if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Levulan Kerastick Solution
you have a history of sensitivity to sunlight
you have the blood disorder porphyria or you are allergic to porphyrins

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Levulan Kerastick Solution:

Some medical conditions may interact with Levulan Kerastick Solution. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have a blood clotting disorder

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Levulan Kerastick Solution. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

Griseofulvin, phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine), sulfonylureas (eg, glyburide), sulfonamides (eg, sulfamethoxazole), tetracyclines (eg, doxycycline), or thiazide diuretics (eg, hydrochlorothiazide) because actions and side effects of Levulan Kerastick Solution may be increased

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Levulan Kerastick Solution may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Levulan Kerastick Solution:

Use Levulan Kerastick Solution as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Levulan Kerastick Solution will be applied by a qualified health care provider.
This is a two-part procedure. You will receive a blue light treatment the day after Levulan Kerastick Solution is applied.
Once Levulan Kerastick Solution is applied, do not wash the treated lesions. Keep the lesions dry and avoid exposure of treated areas to sunlight and bright indoor light. You should return to your health care provider the next day to receive the blue light treatment. This is the second and final treatment step.
Before receiving the blue light treatment, Levulan Kerastick Solution will be rinsed off of your skin with tap water, and you will be given goggles to protect your eyes. The blue light will not heat your skin.
During the blue light treatment, you will experience tingling, stinging, prickling, or burning of the treated area. These effects stop at the end of treatment, which lasts for about 17 minutes.
After the blue light treatment, the treated area and surrounding skin will redden, and swelling or scaling may also occur. This is temporary and should completely resolve 4 weeks after this treatment.
Do not directly cover the treated area(s) unless advised to do so by your health care provider. Excessive irritation may occur.
If for any reason you cannot return to your health care provider within 14 to 18 hours after Levulan Kerastick Solution is applied, call your health care provider. Continue to avoid bright light for at least 40 hours.
If you miss a dose of Levulan Kerastick Solution, contact your doctor right away.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Levulan Kerastick Solution.

Important safety information:

The treated area will be sensitive to light. Avoid exposing the treated area to sunlight and bright indoor light (eg, lamps, tanning beds, nearby lights) during the treatment period before the blue light treatment and at least 40 hours after the blue light treatment. Stinging, burning, flushing, and swelling may occur if the lesions are exposed to bright light.
If you feel stinging or burning on the treated skin lesions, further reduce your exposure to light.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat or similar head covering of light, opaque material when exposed to sunlight or sources of bright light.
Sunscreens will not protect you from light sensitivity reactions. Do not use sunscreens on the treated lesions.
Do not apply any other medicine, creams, or lotions to the treated lesions unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.
