Genquin Cream

Genquin Cream is used in the treatment of Vitiligo. The detailed use of Genquin Cream is as follows:

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

Genquin 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. Genquin 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.

• Genquin Cream is usually applied two to three times a day; however, follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dosage and duration.
• Apply a thin layer of Genquin Cream to the pigmented skin areas and rub in gently.
• Wash your hands before and after applying Genquin Cream. Make sure that the affected area is clean and dry before application.

• Eat a healthy diet and drink lots of water.
• Include foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids like whole grains, walnuts, seaweed, and mackerel.
• Avoid processed meat, refined grains, sugar-sweetened beverages, and fried foods.
• Reduce stress by doing yoga or meditation.
• Nutrient-rich foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, seeds, nuts, legumes, and lean protein may help promote good health and limit inflammation.

Do not use Genquin Cream if you are allergic to any of its components. Genquin Cream is not recommended in Berloque dermatitis (hyperpigmentation caused by photosensitisation following the use of certain perfumes), freckling, melasma of pregnancy, malignant melanoma, hyperpigmentation resulting from inflammation of the skin, or pigmentation resulting from pigments other than melanin (artificial pigments, bile, silver). Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. This medicine should not be used in children below 12 years. Let your doctor know if you are taking any prescription/non-prescription medicines, including supplements or herbal products.
