PROANTHOCYANIDIN+TRANEXAMIC ACID is used in the treatment of hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation is a condition where skin colour appears uneven due to the formation of patches because of the concentration of melanin. Hyperpigmentation can include sunspots, retinopathy (an eye disease), age spots, melasma or chloasma.
PROANTHOCYANIDIN+TRANEXAMIC ACID contains proanthocyanidin and tranexamic acid. PROANTHOCYANIDIN+TRANEXAMIC ACID functions by reducing the concentration of the melanin deposits, thereby making the patches appear lighter. It also helps in rejuvenating and brightening the skin and restoring it to its normal complexion.

Hyperpigmentation.
PROANTHOCYANIDIN+TRANEXAMIC ACID contains proanthocyanidin and tranexamic acid. It is used to treat pigmentation by restoring the normal colour of the skin Proanthocyanidin inhibits the activity of melanocytes (melanin-producing skin cells) and directly decreases melanin concentration by reducing the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase which is responsible for melanin synthesis. It also promotes collagen (a major skin protein) synthesis, thereby improving skin quality and evenness of complexion. Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic (prevents dissolution of fibrin, a major blood component required for the normal clotting of blood) that reduces pigmentation and protects skin from UV radiation.
Exercise caution in case of a history of thromboembolic disorders, cardiovascular disturbances, renal impairment, menorrhagia, haemophilia, DIC and subarachnoid bleeding (brain haemorrhage).
