FAQs
Q: Is Melas-H Cream available without a prescription? A: No. Melas-H Cream is a prescription-only (Rx) medication. A valid prescription from a registered dermatologist or doctor is required. Q: What conditions does Melas-H Cream treat? A: It is specifically indicated for eczema and dermatitis (atopic eczema, allergic dermatitis) with secondary bacterial infection, particularly where Staphylococci are involved. Q: How long should I use Melas-H Cream? A: A single course should not exceed 2 weeks. Complete the full prescribed course even if the skin improves — stopping early may allow the infection to return and can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
