BENOQUIN CREAM 20GM

BENOQUIN CREAM contains a topical depigmenting agent indicated for the final depigmentation in extensive vitiligo. It is used to lighten skin in people with vitiligo permanently. Vitiligo is a disease that causes loss of skin colour in blotches.

BENOQUIN CREAM contains Monobenzone that 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.

In some cases, BENOQUIN CREAM may cause mild skin irritation, dryness or flaking of treated skin. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Do not use BENOQUIN CREAM if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. BENOQUIN CREAM is not recommended for children. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
