About Pinquin Forte Ointment
Pinquin Forte Ointment treats melasma (dark brown patch on skin) and hyperpigmentation. It helps clear the complexion, acne scars, and photoaging (premature skin ageing caused by repeated exposure to UV radiation). Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin. Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discoloured patches on your skin. Dark spots occur when some skin areas start producing more melanin (a natural pigment that gives colour to eyes, hair and skin), ranging from light to dark brown.
Pinquin Forte Ointment contains Hydroquinone (skin lightening or bleaching agent), which decreases the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) responsible for darkening the skin.
Pinquin Forte Ointment is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth, and nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, rinse with water immediately. Do not use Pinquin Forte Ointment on sunburned, windburned, dry, or irritated skin. Common side effects of Pinquin Forte Ointment include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, mild itching, and skin irritation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your physician.
Avoid using Pinquin Forte Ointment if allergic to it. Pinquin Forte Ointment can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight; hence, always use sunscreen and protective clothing before you step outdoors. Care should be taken while applying Pinquin Forte Ointment on sensitive areas, such as the neck. Please limit the use of products that contain large amounts of alcohol (astringents, shaving creams, or after-shave lotions), hair removal products, and products containing lime or spices while using Pinquin Forte Ointment. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or a breastfeeding mother. Pinquin Forte Ointment is not recommended for children below 12 years of age.
