Active Ingredient: Eflornithine
Treatment of facial hirsutism in women.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Cutaneous
2 - 2 {spreads}
From 1 To 1 {spreads} 2 time(s) per day every day
Eflornithine cream should be applied to the affected area twice daily, at least eight hours apart. Efficacy has only been demonstrated for affected areas of the face and under the chin. Application should be limited to these areas. Maximal applied doses used safely in clinical trials were up to 30 grams per month.
Improvement in the condition may be noticed within eight weeks of starting treatment.
Continued treatment may result in further improvement and is necessary to maintain beneficial effects.
The condition may return to pre-treatment levels within eight weeks following discontinuation of treatment.
Use should be discontinued if no beneficial effects are noticed within four months of commencing therapy.
Patients may need to continue to use a hair removal method (e.g. shaving or plucking) in conjunction with eflornithine. In that case, the cream should be applied no sooner than five minutes after shaving or use of other hair removal methods, as increased stinging or burning may otherwise occur.
