Description
Melgain Lotion contains Decapeptide as its active ingredient. It is used to treat vitiligo or white patches. Vitiligo is a disease that causes loss of skin colour in patches due to loss of pigment ce
lls (melanocytes) which result in discoloured patches in different areas of the body, including the skin, hair and mucous membranes. Melgain Lotion works by restoring the pigment cells and allowing healthy pigment cells to reach the affected area. It should be applied externally only. If you experience any other effect after applying this medicine, reach out to the doctor immediately. There are no side effects reported with this medicine. However, if you experience any symptoms after application of this Lotion, consult your doctor.
