Genquin Cream contains a topical depigmenting agent indicated for the final depigmentation in extensive vitiligo. It is used to lighten skin in people with vitiligo permanently. Vitiligo is a disease that causes loss of skin colour in blotches.

Genquin Cream contains Monobenzone that works by increasing the elimination of melanin (pigment molecules) from skin cells. It depigments darker areas around the areas of vitiligo and helps even out the colouring and appearance of the skin.

In some cases, Genquin Cream may cause mild skin irritation, dryness or flaking of treated skin. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Do not use Genquin Cream if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Genquin Cream is not recommended for children. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Vitiligo: Vitiligo is a disease that causes loss of skin colour in blotches. It occurs when the pigment-producing cells called melanin die or stop functioning. Vitiligo is generally considered to be an autoimmune disorder (the immune system attacks the body's own tissues and organs). It can affect any part of the skin; however, it mostly occurs on the face, neck, creases, and hands.
