What is Melalite XL Cream?

Melalite XL Cream is a prescription medication used to treat melasma, a skin condition that causes dark, discolored patches (usually on the face). It works by:

• Lightening dark spots

• Reducing redness, swelling, and itching

• Promoting faster skin renewal

Key Ingredients & How They Work

1. Hydroquinone – Lightens dark patches by reducing melanin (skin pigment).

2. Mometasone – A steroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching.

3. Tretinoin – A vitamin A derivative that speeds up skin cell renewal.

How to Use

• For external use only.

• Apply as directed by your doctor, usually once daily or as prescribed.

• Wash hands before and after application (unless treating hands).

• Avoid excessive sun exposure; use sunscreen to prevent worsening melasma.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects (usually mild and temporary):

• Burning, itching, or redness at the application site.
  If irritation persists or worsens, consult your doctor.

Precautions & Warnings

• Pregnancy: Not recommended unless prescribed (may harm the baby).

• Breastfeeding: Unsafe—risk of infant toxicity.

• Allergies: Inform your doctor if you have sensitive skin or allergies.

• Avoid Overuse: Do not apply more than prescribed—may cause skin thinning or irritation.

Missed Dose?

• Apply as soon as you remember.

• If close to the next dose, skip the missed one.

• Do not double the dose.

Expected Results

With regular use, melasma patches lighten over weeks/months. Full benefits require consistent use as prescribed.
