About Melgain Lotion

DECAPEPTIDE belongs to the 'depigmenting agents' class. It is primarily used in vitiligo treatment. Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition that causes pale white patches to appear on the skin. It is caused by a lack of melanin, the pigment in the skin. Vitiligo can affect any skin area, but it is most common on the face, neck, hands, and skin creases.

DECAPEPTIDE contains 'Decapeptide' as an active ingredient. Topical application of Decapeptide solution induces migratory behavior and proliferation of melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) in white depigmented patches of skin and roots of the hair. Thereby, it helps to treat vitiligo patches.

DECAPEPTIDE is solely intended for external use. In some cases, you may experience skin irritation, dry skin, or a burning sensation. The majority of DECAPEPTIDE's side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and fade away gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please reach out to your doctor.

You should not take DECAPEPTIDE if you are hypersensitive to any components/ingredients in the formulation; please check with your healthcare provider if you are unsure about it. Keep your physician up to date on your health condition and the medications you are using to rule out any possible interactions. Consult your doctor before taking DECAPEPTIDE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
