What is Melgain Lotion (Decapeptide) used for?

Melgain Lotion (Decapeptide) is a topical medication prescribed for the treatment of vitiligo. The medication reduces skin pigmentation at the areas of application to blend them into darker coloured surrounding areas. This action helps to even out skin tone and reduce the patchy appearance of the skin in patients with this condition. Please note that this medication is only meant to treat vitiligo and should not be used for cosmetic purposes such as skin whitening, reducing the appearance of moles, or blemishes. Your doctor may also recommend its use for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Melgain Lotion (Decapeptide)?

Melgain Lotion (Decapeptide) is normally administered once each day, but your particular instructions will be determined by your doctor based on your age, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. To apply the cream rinse the area being treated to remove any dirt or loose skin, apply a small amount of cream, and gently massage it into the skin leaving the area uncovered to allow any excess medication to evaporate. You are suggested to use latex gloves when applying the cream to prevent the cream from discolouring your hands or palms. Thoroughly wash your hands using soap and water after each application to prevent the medication from contacting the mucous membranes or other areas of the skin not being treated. Always ask your doctor any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.

What are the side effects of Melgain Lotion (Decapeptide)?

Melgain Lotion (Decapeptide) may cause side effects in some patients such as:

• Mild stinging or burning sensations
• Dry, peeling, or flaking skin
• Slight swelling or irritation of the skin

Stop using the medication if you experience serious side effects such as severe pain, burning, or signs of an allergic reaction such as hives, rashes, swelling, or difficulty breathing. These conditions may require reduced frequency of administration or emergency medical attention in serious cases to prevent further health problems from occurring.
