    Eflora cream is a medication primarily used to reduce unwanted facial hair growth in women. Its active ingredient is eflornithine hydrochloride, which works by inhibiting an enzyme called ornithine decarboxylase. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the production of polyamines, which are necessary for cell division and growth, including the growth of hair.

    By inhibiting ornithine decarboxylase, eflornithine slows down the rate of cell division in the hair follicles, thereby reducing the growth of unwanted facial hair. This effect is particularly useful for conditions such as hirsutism, where excessive hair growth in women is often attributed to hormonal imbalances.

    It's important to note that eflora cream doesn't permanently remove hair or stop its growth entirely. Instead, it helps manage excessive hair growth by slowing down its rate, making it less noticeable over time. For optimal results, the cream should be applied twice daily to the affected areas, usually the face and under the chin, consistently over a period of several weeks.

    While eflora cream is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or redness at the application site. It's always advisable to perform a patch test before using any new skincare product and to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or experience adverse reactions.
