Manufactured byALKEM LABORATORIES LTD
ContainsDeca Peptide
Description
Melbild Solution is a topical medicine used for the treatment of vitiligo (a skin condition in which white patches develop on the skin). It works by inducing skin cells to migrate to the area of the skin with the vitiligo patches. This promotes the formation of melanin (a pigment that darkens the skin) and restores your skin's colour. Melbild Solution may cause some mild side effects like dry skin, skin irritation, etc. Consult your doctor if these side effects do not resolve with time or worsen. Melbild Solution is recommended for external use only. Clean and dry the affected area before application. Apply a thin film to the affected area and spread uniformly. Do not use more than the prescribed amount as it will not improve your condition faster, rather might lead to increased side effects. Use this medicine regularly for the prescribed duration to get maximum benefits. It may take a few weeks or months to see improvement in your condition. Melbild Solution is not recommended if you are allergic to it. Inform your doctor if you have any other skin conditions or taking any other medications. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or are breastfeeding.
