Eflora Tube Of 15gm Cream
Description
Eflora Cream is a topical treatment designed to reduce excessive facial hair growth in women, particularly in areas such as the chin and upper lip. It contains eflornithine, which inhibits hair growth by targeting the enzyme responsible for hair production. This cream is commonly prescribed for issues related to hormonal imbalance or PCOS-induced hirsutism.
Possible side effects can include mild skin irritation or redness. Always consult your doctor prior to use, especially if you have pre-existing skin or health conditions. Avoid contact with your eyes; if contact occurs, rinse with water and seek immediate medical assistance. Do not stop the treatment without first consulting your physician, as hair growth might resume after discontinuation. Before using this medication, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Ingredients and Benefits
- The active ingredient in Eflora Cream is eflornithine.
- Eflornithine in Eflora Cream functions by blocking the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase, which is crucial in the hair growth process. By interrupting this function, it reduces the production of polyamines, which are necessary for hair follicle development, resulting in diminished facial hair growth over time. ...
- Its action is localised to the area of application, making it a suitable and useful choice for managing unwanted facial hair in women.
