Reshade V 1mg Solution

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Reshade V 1mg Solution is a medication used for the treatment of vitiligo. It works best when used in combination with other treatments. It stimulates the movement and growth of melanin-producing cells, called melanocytes, in white patches of skin and hair roots. This way it restores the skin color.

Reshade V 1mg Solution is for external use only. Use it exactly as your doctor has prescribed. The affected area should be clean and dried before application. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. Use it regularly to get the maximum benefit. Do not use more than needed as it will not clear your condition faster and may instead cause some side effects. If your condition goes on for longer than four weeks or gets worse at any time, let your doctor know. You can help this medication work better by keeping the affected areas clean.

Common side effects include dry skin, skin irritation, and burning sensation at the site of application. Consult your doctor if these side effects do not get better or persist for a longer duration. Avoid direct contact with your eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse it off with water and seek medical attention.

For optimal results, it is recommended to apply this medicine two hours before going to bed. In the morning, the treated patches can be exposed to sunlight for 10-15 minutes. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctors before using this medicine to make sure the medicine is safe for them and the developing baby.

How Reshade Solution works

FAQs

How do you use a Reshade V 1mg Solution?

Use Reshade V 1mg Solution exactly as directed by your doctor. Read the instructions carefully before using. Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly and then apply the lotion as a very thin film. For best results, apply it about 2 hours before retiring at night. Do not touch the treated patches for about an hour. Next morning, expose the patches to bright sunlight for 10-15 minutes. If it is not possible to expose to sunlight, you can use ultraviolet lamps.

How does Reshade V 1mg Solution work?

Reshade V 1mg Solution increases the growth of cells that make pigment (melanocytes). It increases melanocytes in the area of patches (hypopigmented area). It also helps the melanocytes to migrate to the affected area, thus restoring skin complexion.

How safe is Reshade V 1mg Solution?

Reshade V 1mg Solution is quite safe if used as prescribed. No side effects or contraindications have been reported so far. If you experience any side effects after applying the lotion, consult your doctor immediately.

How long do I need to use Reshade V 1mg Solution?

The duration of treatment depends on the response to treatment. The response is faster in children or if used in recently developed patches. Normally, re-pigmentation can be seen on the borders or inside the white patch (as dots of pigment) in 3 to 6 months depending on the age of the white patch. In the majority of patients, full re-pigmentation may take a year.

Can childhood vitiligo go away?

There is still no remedy which cures vitiligo 100%. Sometimes the patches may disappear on their own. But generally, the patches may get repigmented, but never get cured completely.

What is vitiligo?

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease of the skin that causes white patches on the skin due to loss of normal skin pigment called melanin. It occurs when the cells that give your skin its color are destroyed. These patches can also affect the eyes, mouth and nose. It runs in families and usually starts before the age of 40 years.
