Same salt, different brands:

Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Medicinal Benefits

  • Melasma Treatment: Aritop-HC Cream has been found effective in treating melasma, a common hyperpigmentation disorder that results in dark skin patches. Its active ingredient, hydroquinone, works as a skin-bleaching agent that inhibits an enzyme responsible for melanin production, reducing pigmentation and fading dark spots.
  • Rejuvenates Skin: The cream contains tretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A. It helps the skin recover from sun damage by thickening its layer, quickening skin renewal for a rejuvenated complexion.
  • Soothes Skin: Mometasone, a steroid, in the Aritop-HC Cream can reduce redness, swelling, and itchiness. It provides quick relief from these symptoms, contributing to overall comfort.
  • Protective Barrier: By working on multiple fronts to reduce inflammation, promote skin renewal, and fade pigmentation, Aritop-HC Cream acts as a protective barrier against environmental stressors like sun exposure when combined with other sun-avoidance measures.
