Description

💊 Eflora Cream 15gm Product Description

Eflora Cream 15gm is a specialized topical medication designed for the treatment of unwanted facial hair (hirsutism) in women. This prescription-strength cream works gradually to help reduce the growth rate of excessive and bothersome facial hair, leading to a smoother, clearer complexion over time. It is intended for use on the face and chin area.

The active ingredient in Eflora Cream is **Eflornithine Hydrochloride (13.9%)**. It acts as an irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), which is found in the hair follicle. ODC is necessary for hair growth. By blocking this enzyme, Eflora Cream effectively disrupts the natural hair growth cycle, slowing down the rate at which new hair is produced and making existing hair finer and lighter. Significant improvement typically requires 4-8 weeks of consistent application.

Key Benefits:

• Targeted Facial Hair Reduction: Specifically formulated to treat unwanted hair on the face and chin area.
• Slows Hair Growth: Works at the follicular level to slow the rate of new hair growth.
• Improved Skin Appearance: Leads to a reduction in the density and appearance of bothersome facial hair, contributing to a smoother skin texture.
• Non-Hormonal Treatment: Offers a topical solution for hirsutism without systemic hormonal effects.

🛡️ Precautions

Is Eflora Cream 15gm Right for You?

Eflora Cream is for external use only. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you have a known hypersensitivity to Eflornithine or any other component of the cream, or if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Discontinue use and contact your doctor if skin irritation persists or worsens. It has not been studied in children under 12 years of age.

DO NOT STOP SUDDENLY: **Eflora Cream must be applied continuously as directed by your physician to maintain the treatment benefits.** Hair growth will likely return to pretreatment levels within approximately 8 weeks of stopping the medication.
