Eflora Cream 15 g

Eflora Cream 15 g is a prescription topical medicine that contains eflornithine, 13.9% w/w, in a 15 g cream bottle. It belongs to the ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor class and is used to help slow unwanted facial hair growth in women. This cream is applied to the skin, not taken by mouth, and it is meant to reduce the rate of hair growth rather than remove hair permanently. Eflora Cream 15 g is typically used along with regular hair removal methods if needed.

How it works: Eflornithine works by blocking an enzyme your skin cells use to make hair grow. Applied as Eflora Cream 15 g, it slows new facial hair growth over time, which can make hair removal needs less frequent.

Eflora Cream 15 g comes as a 15 g bottle, which is a practical size for ongoing topical treatment of facial hirsutism. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this product is the standard way this medicine is supplied in your pharmacy selection. A doctor may choose Eflora Cream 15 g when they want a prescription cream that is easy to apply and suitable for regular use on the affected facial areas.

• Helps slow unwanted facial hair growth in women
• Adjunct treatment for facial hirsutism
• Reduces the rate of hair regrowth after removal
• Topical prescription treatment for cosmetic skin care concerns

• Use Eflora Cream 15 g only on clean, dry skin of the face and under the chin where unwanted hair grows.
• Apply a thin layer and rub it in gently; do not apply to broken, irritated, or recently shaved skin.
• Wash your hands after applying, unless the hands are the treated area.
• Do not let the cream get into your eyes, nose, mouth, or other mucous membranes.
• You may need to wait about 5 minutes before using cosmetics or sunscreen after application.
• Keep using the cream as prescribed; it does not remove hair instantly and benefits build with regular use.

Each bottle of Eflora Cream 15 g provides 15 g of cream, and the exact amount used each time depends on the size of the treated area. For this strength, the medicine is usually applied twice daily, but the prescriber decides the schedule based on the patient’s needs and skin tolerance. Do not use more than directed, because extra application does not work faster and may increase irritation.

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