BENOQUIN CREAM contains Monobenzone which belongs to the group of medicines called Depigmenting Agents. BENOQUIN CREAM is used to treat uneven appearance of skin (loss of skin colour) caused by vitiligo, which is a skin condition that occurs due to loss of brown colour (pigment) in skin resulting in white patches (on skin) in affected individuals.
BENOQUIN CREAM is not recommended for use in patients allergic to Monobenzone. It is also not recommended for use in patients suffering from hyper-pigmentation (darkened patches/spots on the skin due to other pigments), skin discoloration pigments (such as sunspots, age spots, freckles), and/or skin trauma.
BENOQUIN CREAM should be used with caution in pregnant and breastfeeding women only if it is clearly necessary. It is also advised to be used with caution in children and adolescents (aged 12 to 18 years) after consulting the doctor.
The most common side effects of applying BENOQUIN CREAM are skin irritation, and allergic contact dermatitis (skin rash). Consult your doctor if any of these side effects worsen.
