About MonobenzoneMonobenzyl ether of hydroquinone, Skin whitening/depigmenting agent.Mechanism of Action of MonobenzoneMonobenzone increases the excretion of melanin from melanocytes and produces depigmentation. Monobenzone also prevent melanin production and causes destruction of melanocytes and permanent depigmentation. Depigmentation is erratic and takes 1-4 months to occur while existing melanin is lost with the normal sloughing of the stratum corneum and excretion of new melanin is increased by Monobenzone. Hyper pigmented skin appears to fade more rapidly than normal skin, and exposure to sunlight reduces the depigmenting effect of the drug.Pharmacokinets of MonobenzoneN/AOnset of Action for MonobenzoneN/ADuration of Action for MonobenzoneN/AHalf Life of MonobenzoneN/ASide Effects of Monobenzone1.Skin irritation
