Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.

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.

Medicinal Benefits

Cutihyde Cream contains Hydroquinone, a skin-lighting agent used to treat skin problems like acne scars, melasma, hyperpigmentation, and photoaging. It is also used to treat freckles (small brown spots on the skin), age spots and chloasma (darkened skin caused by hormonal changes). It works by decreasing the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) responsible for the skin's darkening.
