Composition

The active ingredient in MELBILD 2ML Solution is Decapeptide. Each 2ml of the solution contains 2mg of Decapeptide. It also contains excipients such as Tween 80, Brij S2-SO-SG, Isopropyl Myristate, Sodium acetate, Glacial acetic acid, Isopropyl alcohol, and purified water.

Uses

MELBILD Solution is prescribed for the treatment of vitiligo, a long-term skin condition characterized by pale white patches due to a lack of melanin. It works by stimulating the migration and proliferation of melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) in the depigmented areas of the skin and hair roots, thereby helping to restore natural skin color.

Dosage and Administration

MELBILD Solution is for external use only. It should be used as directed by a physician. Typically, a small amount is applied as a thin layer and gently rubbed onto the clean, dry affected skin area, usually two hours before sleep. The treated patches may then be exposed to sunlight or commercially available ultraviolet lamps for 10-15 minutes in the morning.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include skin irritation, dry skin, and a burning sensation at the application site. Most side effects are usually mild and resolve over time. If they persist or worsen, medical consultation is advised.

Precautions

• External Use Only: Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and nose. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Hypersensitivity: Do not use if allergic to Decapeptide or any other ingredients in the formulation.
• Sun Sensitivity: The medicine may increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Use sunscreen and protective clothing as advised by your doctor when outdoors.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Limited information is available regarding its safety during pregnancy and lactation. It should be used under medical supervision in these conditions.

Storage

Typically, you should clean and dry the affected area thoroughly before applying a thin film of the solution evenly.

If another topical medication is required, maintain at least a 2-hour gap between applications.
