Benoquin 40 cream is prescribed for treating severe Vitiligo, a skin condition where depigmentation results due to an autoimmune disorder.

It contains Monobenzone as the major active ingredient and is known for effectively removing pigmentation from the unaffected areas. This leads to an even skin tone throughout the body.

Vitiligo treatment:

Vitiligo is a medical condition characterized by depigmentation of skin patches on any part of the body. It happens when the immune system destroys melanocyte-producing cells (brown pigment) in the body, an autoimmune problem. This cream is a reliable and effective treatment for vitiligo, specifically formulated for addressing depigmentation concerns.

Monobenzoneis the major ingredient of this cream, a powerful depigmenting agent whose action mechanism involves lowering melatonin production in the skin. This cream also contains some inactive ingredients (stabilizers emollients & preservatives) for easy application, proper absorption and longer shelf-life.

Apply Benoquin 40 cream exactly as guided by the physician. To ensure desired efficacy, here are some general guidelines to consider:

• Prepare your skin first. Wash and clean the affected area with soap and water. Pat dry the skin.
• Squeeze a pea-sized portion of cream on your fingertip and apply a thin layer evenly on the areas requiring treatment.
• Massage the cream gently on the affected area and let it absorb. Don’t rub abrasively/apply pressure else you may develop skin allergies.
• Clean the hands thoroughly after applying this cream which is essential for preventing depigmentation of unintended areas.
• Stick to the recommended application frequency and don’t apply it more often than advised.

Generally, Benoquin 40 is suggested for applying 2 to 3 times a day, depending on the individual’s vitiligo conditions & requirements for treating the same.

This vitiligo cream works with a targeted approach for melanocytes, the skin cells producing melanin (the skin pigment colour giver). Monobenzone is a re-pigmenting agent that decreases the production of melanocytes which ultimately causes their breakdown. With repeated usage, the skin pigmentation changes permanently and matches the depigmented tone. This leads to forming an even skin tone for individuals with vitiligo.
