Eflocare Cream

Eflocare Cream is a topical medicine containing eflornithine, a prescription-only anti-hair-growth treatment used on the skin. Each bottle of Eflocare Cream contains eflornithine as labelled by the manufacturer, Shalaks Healthcare, and it is designed to help reduce unwanted facial hair growth in women. It is not a hair removal cream and does not remove hair already present; instead, it helps slow new hair growth over time.

How it works: Eflornithine works by blocking an enzyme in hair follicles that helps hair cells grow and divide. When applied as Eflocare Cream to the skin, it slows the rate of facial hair growth, which can make hair less noticeable over time.

Because Eflocare Cream is a skin-applied, prescription-strength product rather than a lower-potency cosmetic cream, it is meant for people a clinician has specifically evaluated for unwanted facial hair. Since there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, Eflocare Cream represents the full product available from this brand and is chosen when a doctor wants a topical option that can be used regularly on the affected area. The effect is gradual, so it may feel different from faster-acting hair removal methods.

• Reduces unwanted facial hair growth
• Helps slow new hair growth on the face
• Adjunct treatment for hirsutism in women
• Prescription topical therapy for cosmetic hair-management concerns

• Apply Eflocare Cream only to clean, dry skin on the face where unwanted hair grows.
• Use a thin layer and rub it in gently; do not apply more than directed.
• Wash your hands after applying unless the hands are the treatment area.
• Avoid washing the treated area for several hours after application, unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Do not apply to broken, irritated, sunburned, or infected skin.
• Keep the cream away from the eyes, lips, nostrils, and inside the mouth.

Eflocare Cream is supplied as labelled in each bottle, and the amount applied is based on the product directions your doctor gives you rather than on an oral milligram dose. It is commonly used twice daily, but your prescriber may adjust how often you apply it depending on your skin and response; there is no oral-style maximum per day, but you should not use it more often than prescribed. The doctor decides the correct use for this specific Eflocare Cream formulation.

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