About Melbild-XL Solution

Melbild-XL Solution belongs to the 'depigmenting agents' class. It is primarily used in vitiligo treatment. Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition that causes pale white patches to appear on the skin. It is caused by a lack of melanin, the pigment in the skin. Vitiligo can affect any skin area, but it is most common on the face, neck, hands, and skin creases.

Melbild-XL Solution contains 'Decapeptide' as an active ingredient. Topical application of Decapeptide solution induces migratory behaviour and proliferation of melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) in white depigmented patches of skin and roots of the hair. Thereby, it helps to treat vitiligo patches.

Melbild-XL Solution is solely intended for external use. In some cases, you may experience skin irritation, dry skin, burning sensation. Most of the Melbild-XL Solution's side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and gradually fade over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please contact your doctor.
