Composition:
EFLORNITHINE-13.9%W/W
Uses:
Treatment of Facial hirsutism (unwanted facial hair in women), African sleeping sickness.
Medicinal Benefits:
Eflora Cream contains Eflornithine used to slow the growth of unwanted hair on the face in women, usually around the lips or under the chin. It works by blocking a natural substance ornithine decarboxylase (an enzyme in the body involved in the production of hair) that stimulates hair growth and is located in the hair follicle (the sac where each hair grows). Eflora Cream slows hair growth and may also make the hair finer and lighter. It does not remove hair or cause the hair to fall out. Besides this, Eflora Cream also used to treat African sleeping sickness, a disease caused by protozoa (Trypanosoma brucei).
