What is Albaquin Cream (Monobenzone USP) used for?

Albaquin Cream (Monobenzone USP) is a topical medication used to create a more even skin tone in patients with vitiligo. The cream lightens the colour of skin next to the discoloured area to create a more even appearance. It should be noted that this medication is not cosmetic bleach and should never be used to remove blemishes or lighten skin in patients without vitiligo. Your doctor may prescribe it to treat other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Albaquin Cream (Monobenzone USP)?

Strictly follow your doctor`s directions while using Albaquin Cream (Monobenzone USP) to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. It is normally administered two to three times each day, but your individual instructions will depend on the severity of your symptoms and your current health condition. It is recommended to rinse the skin before application to remove any loose skin or dirt. Always wear protective gloves when applying the cream to stop it from discolouring your palms. Put a thin layer of medication onto the normally pigmented area next to the discoloured skin, gently massage it in, and allow any excess cream to evaporate. Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water to prevent the medicine from contacting any areas not being treated or the mucous membranes. Always ask your doctor any questions you have before using the cream to ensure the correct administration.
