Medical Description
Melalite XL cream is a combination medicine used for the treatment and prevention of moderate-to-severe melasma (dark and discoloured patches on the skin) and senile lentigines (dark spots or age spots in older people due to exposure to the sun). Melasma is a condition where the skin develops brown or blue-grey patches on the face, which may be due to hormonal changes or exposure to the sun. This medicine lightens the skin tone or appearance. It consists of a combination of mometasone, tretinoin and hydroquinone as active ingredients. This cream increases skin renewal functioning. Melalite XL cream should not be used for a prolonged duration unless it is prescribed by your dermatologist, as it contains a steroid. Wash your hands before and after applying this cream. You should not apply this cream on a cut, open wound or burn skin area. Avoid direct sun exposure immediately after applying for this medicine. Use this medicine exactly as instructed by the doctor.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Melalite XL cream contains a combination of Mometasone, Tretinoin and Hydroquinone as its active ingredients and works by the combined action of these three components.
- Hydroquinone inhibits an enzyme known as tyrosinase, which is responsible for the production of a pigment called melanin. Melanin is responsible for skin pigmentation and melasma.
- Tretinoin is a metabolite of Vitamin A and is keratolytic. It is responsible for the elimination of melanin that has been formed. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
- Mometasone is a corticosteroid and it works by blocking the production of inflammatory chemicals like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Mometasone narrows and constricts blood vessels, which are dilated (widened) and leaky and allowing other inflammatory cells into the skin to promote the inflammatory response.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- There is limited information available on the interaction of this medicine with other medicines. However, as it contains a combination of mometasone, tretinoin and hydroquinone, any interactions may be seen with these three components, when taken alone may occur with this combination.
- Since this medicine is to be used externally on the skin, it is less likely to interact with other medicines. However, always consult your doctor if you are taking other medicines for treating other health conditions.
- You should always tell the doctor if you are taking any other medicines, herbal preparation and supplements to avoid interaction with Melalite XL cream.
