Medicinal Benefits

Melboost Solution 5 ml belongs to the group of medicines called 'depigmenting agents'. It contains 'Decapeptide' as an active ingredient used to manage vitiligo patches. Topical application of Decapeptide solution induces migratory behaviour and proliferation of melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) in white depigmented patches of skin and roots of the hair. Thereby, it helps to treat vitiligo patches.
