Treatment of Melasma

Benefits of Rodlyte Ointment

Treatment of Melasma
Melasma is a condition that causes dark patches on the face, commonly associated with sun exposure and hormonal factors. Rodlyte Ointment helps improve melasma by reducing excess melanin formation and supporting skin cell turnover, which allows dark patches to fade more evenly. When used for short-term, intermittent treatment under medical supervision and combined with proper sun protection, it helps improve the appearance of facial melasma.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Rodlyte Ointment

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and gently massage the ointment.

How Rodlyte Ointment works

Rodlyte Ointment is a combination of three medicines: Hydroquinone, Mometasone, and Tretinoin—used for the treatment of melasma of the face. Hydroquinone reduces excess melanin formation in the skin, which helps lighten dark patches. Mometasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and irritation associated with treatment. Tretinoin is a vitamin A derivative that promotes skin cell turnover, helping melanin to disperse more evenly. Together, these actions help improve the appearance of melasma when used for short-term, intermittent treatment under medical supervision.

Quick tips

Rodlyte Ointment is used for the short-term treatment of mild to moderate melasma.
It helps reduce scars, marks, blemishes, and dark circles under the eyes.
It should always be used along with sun-avoidance measures, like using sunscreens and wearing protective clothing.
Apply and massage gently till the cream is fully absorbed, once daily at night.
Initial improvement may be seen in just 2 weeks; full results generally appear after 2-3 months of regular use.
Do not apply to broken or infected areas of skin. Discontinue use if you experience irritation or an allergy and consult your doctor.
Do not use it for longer than 6-8 weeks without consulting your doctor.
