Description
Kromaglo Cream is a skin lightening medicine containing Tranexamic Acid, Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Mulberry Extract, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, and Vitamin E. It is used for the short-term treatment of moderate to severe melasma (a skin condition that causes appearance of dark, discoloured patches on the face). This medicine acts by brightening the skin and decreasing the production of melanin (skin pigment).
Kromaglo Cream may rarely cause side effects like dryness, burning sensation, irritation, itching, or redness at the site of application. These side effects are self-limiting. However, if any of these side effects do not resolve with time or worsen, consult your doctor at the earliest.
Kromaglo Cream is meant for use on the skin only. Wash and dry the affected area before application. Apply a thin layer of this medicine on the affected area as directed by your doctor. Avoid contact with your eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. Rinse immediately with plenty of water in case of accidental contact.
Kromaglo Cream should be avoided if you are allergic to any of the ingredients present in this formulation. Inform your doctor of any other topical medicines you may be using before starting treatment with this medication. Consult your doctor before using Kromaglo Cream if you are pregnant or are breastfeeding.
