Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

BENOQUIN CREAM is used in the treatment of Vitiligo. The detailed use of BENOQUIN CREAM is as follows:

  • Vitiligo Treatment: BENOQUIN CREAM is used to permanently depigment the remaining normal skin to match the already depigmented patches, creating a more uniform skin tone.

Medicinal Benefits

BENOQUIN CREAM contains Monobenzone, a topical depigmenting agent indicated for the final depigmentation in extensive vitiligo. It is used to lighten skin in people with vitiligo permanently in patients with disseminated (greater than 50 per cent of body surface area) idiopathic vitiligo. BENOQUIN CREAM works by increasing the elimination of melanin (pigment molecules) from skin cells. It depigments darker areas around the areas of vitiligo and helps even out the colouring and appearance of the skin.
