Benefits of Meladuce Tablet SR

In Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation occurs when your skin produces more melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its color. This can make spots or patches of skin appear darker than surrounding areas. Meladuce Tablet SR reduces the dark spots or patches by lowering melanin production in the body. It also lightens skin tone and helps restore the normal color of the skin. It also helps to protect the skin from damage by ultraviolet rays of the sun and prevents sunburns. Taking Meladuce Tablet SR boosts your self-esteem and confidence as your skin texture improves.

In Melasma

Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discolored patches on your skin primarily on the face. It frequently occurs during pregnancy and menopause. Meladuce Tablet SR helps to lighten these dark patches on the skin by reducing the production of melanin (natural skin pigment). Meladuce Tablet SR also lightens skin color and makes it smooth. This helps boost your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.
