It is used for the short-term treatment of moderate to severe melasma (a condition where dark, discoloured patches appear on the skin) of the face.

Tyrodin Cream should be used as prescribed by your doctor. It is for external use only. Clean and dry the affected area before application. Apply a thin layer of this medicine over the affected parts of your skin. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose and mouth. Rinse with water immediately in case of accidental contact with these areas.
