Eflite 13.9% Cream

Eflite 13.9% Cream is a prescription topical medicine that contains eflornithine 13.9% in each bottle of cream. It belongs to a drug class called ornithine decarboxylase inhibitors and is used to help slow unwanted facial hair growth in women. Eflite 13.9% Cream is applied to the skin, not taken by mouth, and it is meant for hair reduction rather than permanent hair removal. Your doctor may prescribe it when cosmetic hair-removal methods alone are not enough or are not suitable.

How it works: Eflornithine in Eflite 13.9% Cream works by slowing an enzyme your hair follicles use to help hair grow. When applied regularly to the skin, it can reduce the speed of new facial hair growth over time.

Eflite 13.9% Cream is the only strength and form sold in this product line, so the full 13.9% cream is the standard presentation rather than a higher or lower sibling option. Because it is a prescription-strength topical cream, it is best suited for patients whose doctor has specifically assessed that this form is appropriate for facial hair reduction. Results are gradual, and a clinician may choose it to complement shaving, plucking, waxing, or laser treatment.

Eflite 13.9% Cream provides eflornithine 13.9% in each bottle of cream, so this is the exact prescription strength of the product. It is typically applied twice daily, and the doctor decides the right amount and treatment plan for each patient. Do not use more often or in a larger amount than prescribed, because this strength is meant for supervised topical use.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
