Lumitene™ and Porphyria (EPP)

EPP or Erythropoetic Protoporphyria and the sun sensitive porphyrias can very often be treated with Lumitene™.

The original treatment formula for this form of Porphyria was known as Solatene™ a prescription only beta-carotene capsule which is no longer available. Lumitene™ has taken its place and is 100% compatible and the identical formulation of Solatene™ but does NOT require a prescription -- although you should certainly discuss this with your Doctor.

Each Lumitene capsule is composed of beadlets containing 30 mg beta-carotene. Patients receiving Lumitene should be advised against taking supplementary vitamin A since Lumitene administration will fulfill normal vitamin A requirements. They should also be cautioned to continue sun protection and forewarned that their skin may appear slightly yellow while receiving Lumitene.
