Description
Monobenzone, applied topically to the skin, is used as a depigmenting agent inhibitting melanin produced by polymerization of oxidation products of tyrosine and dihydroxyphenyl compounds. Monobenzone works by permanently removing color from normal skin located around skin with vitiligo.
Indications: For final depigmentation in extensive vitiligo, and to permanently depigment normal skin surrounding vitiliginous lesions in patients with disseminated (greater than 50% of body surface area) idiopathic vitiligo.
