It operates by interfering with chemicals in the hair follicles that cause hair growth to slow the process.

Your doctor may also recommend its use for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Eflora (Eflornithine HCL)?

Eflora Cream (Eflornithine HCL) should be used strictly according to your doctor`s instructions to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. The cream is normally applied twice each day to the affected areas, but your individual directions will depend on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. To administer the medicine rinse and dry the area to remove any dirt or loose skin, apply a small amount of cream, gently massage it into the skin, and allow any excess to evaporate. It is suggested to wait at least five minutes after hair removal to apply the cream as this may cause irritation or discomfort. Do not wash the area of skin being treated within four hours. Thoroughly wash your hands after each application to prevent the medication from contacting any mucous membranes or areas not being treated.
