Depilus 15gm Cream

Depilus 15gm Cream, made by Atco Laboratories Ltd, is a topical hair growth inhibitor. Its active ingredient is Eflornithine 15g, and it is used for unwanted facial hair in women (hirsutism). Pack size: 15 gm.

Uses of Depilus 15gm Cream

Depilus 15gm Cream is used by women to slow the growth of unwanted facial hair, usually on the upper lip and chin. It does not remove hair, so it is used alongside shaving, threading, waxing or laser. Improvement is gradual and usually takes several weeks to notice, and hair growth returns to its previous pattern if the cream is stopped.

How Depilus 15gm Cream works

Eflornithine blocks an enzyme in the hair follicle called ornithine decarboxylase, which hair cells need to divide. With this enzyme blocked, the hair grows more slowly and may become finer and less noticeable.

Possible side effects

Depilus 15gm Cream mainly affects the skin where it is applied. Common effects include:

• Acne or spots
• Stinging, burning or tingling
• Redness or rash
• Dry skin
• Ingrown hairs

Stop using it and see a doctor if the skin becomes severely irritated, swollen or blistered.

Precautions and warnings

• For external use only; avoid the eyes, inside the nose and broken skin.
• Use it for the time advised; if there is no improvement after a few months, discuss this with your doctor.
• Excess facial hair can be a sign of a hormone condition such as polycystic ovary syndrome, so it is worth having this checked.
• Wait a short time after applying before using make-up or sunscreen over the area.
• It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
