Suggest Remedy For Vitiligo
Hello my cousin had got vitiligo and is taking Dicaris-150 mg, per week one tablet. He is taking the medicine for past 3 years and the disease is quite controlled. I want to ask that how long he is suppose to take that medicine, I mean is it for whole life or he can stop at some stage? Also is there any side effect of the medicine on his growth as he is just 13 year old.

Well come to HCM
The cure rate in vitiligo is very less but this can be well controlled and for that one need to continue the medicine for life there is not side effect of this drug, even if it there then this could be negligible, hope this helps Thank
