Epilite (Hydroquinone (5% w/v))

Epilite Topical Solution is indicated for the management of melasma, a condition characterized by darkened patches on the skin. This topical agent functions primarily as a skin-lightening treatment by decreasing the concentration of melanin, the pigment responsible for darker skin areas. The solution aims to promote reversible depigmentation, effectively lightening affected areas over time. It is crucial to apply this product exclusively on the skin, following the specific dosage and duration guidelines provided by a healthcare professional. Prior to and following application, thorough handwashing is necessary to avoid unintended exposure. Optimal results are achieved through consistent application; however, it is important to avoid overuse, as this may exacerbate potential side effects. While not everyone will experience adverse effects, some individuals may encounter mild skin irritation, including dryness, itching, burning sensations, peeling, or redness. Though serious allergic reactions are uncommon, patients should monitor their response and consult a healthcare provider if side effects persist or worsen. It is recommended to initially test the solution on a small area of intact skin to assess for allergic reactions and discontinue use in the event of significant irritation. Pregnant individuals should seek medical advice before using this product, and if no improvement is observed within two months, the treatment should be halted.
