Uses of Akira Cream

Benefits of Akira Cream

In Treatment of Melasma

Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discolored patches on your skin. It is more commonly seen in females than males. Akira Cream helps to lighten these dark patches of the skin usually caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin. It effectively blocks that process in the skin that leads to discoloration. Akira Cream also reduces any redness, rash, pain, or itchiness that may be caused by this condition.

This improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. You should always use it as prescribed and only apply the amount you have been told to. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.

In Treatment of Bleeding

Bleeding occurs when blood clots break down rapidly. Akira Cream reduces bleeding by preventing the rapid breakdown of clots. It helps to prevent excessive loss of blood, stops bleeding, and enhances the healing process. Bleeding can make you feel weak so it is advisable to take a good diet depending on your condition and with a doctor’s consultation.

How Akira Cream works

Akira Cream is a procoagulant agent. In the presence of UV light, plasminogen (enzyme) induces the production of melanin (pigment) to cause pigmentation and dark spots in the skin. It inhibits the activation of plasminogen, thus lead to a decrease in the production of melanin. This is how it works to treat melasma and hyperpigmentation of the skin.

FAQs

Does Akira Cream lighten skin?

Yes, Akira Cream can be used to lighten the skin. It has been proven effective in improving melasma (pigmentation of skin). Do consult your doctor and get your skin condition diagnosed before you start taking this medication.

Can Akira Cream be used in hyperpigmented skin?

Yes, Akira Cream can be used topically in case of ultraviolet radiation-induced hyperpigmentation and other pigmentation disorders of the skin. Do consult your doctor and get your skin condition diagnosed before you start taking this medication. Your doctor will decide whether you need this medication or not. Sometimes it can also be used topically on the place of bleeding to arrest bleeding locally.

Can a pregnant woman take Akira Cream?

No, Akira Cream should be avoided by pregnant women. This is because Akira Cream may get transmitted from mother to fetus. There is no evidence whether it is safe to be taken in pregnant women. Do consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to have a baby.

Is Akira Cream a steroid?

No, Akira Cream is not a steroid medicine. It is a medication which prevents enzymes (causing pigmentation) binding to skin cells in cases with hyperpigmented skin. It also reduces the increased blood vessels formation in melasma.

Can Akira Cream cause pulmonary embolism?

Akira Cream promotes blood clotting and can rarely cause blood clot to travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) which can turn fatal sometimes. Pulmonary embolism is not a common side effect in patients taking Akira Cream but can occur in overdosing, patients with long bedrest or prone individuals. Evidence suggests that the increased risk of clot can be due to some other additional risk factors as well.

Can you take Akira Cream on an empty stomach?

Akira Cream can be taken with or without food with a glass of water. The medicine should be swallowed as a whole and should not be crushed or chewed.

Can I take Akira Cream for more than 5 days?

The dose and duration of this medicine is decided by the type of disease for which it is prescribed. For heavy bleeding during monthly menstruation, it is usually taken for up to 5 days. For other conditions it can be prescribed for less than 5 days and even more that 5 days which is decided by the prescribing physician.

Does Akira Cream affect fertility?

No, Akira Cream does not affect fertility. It is taken for heavy menstrual bleeding and evidence suggests no interference of this medicine with ovulation (release of eggs from the ovaries). Therefore, this medicine is not a type of contraceptive medicine and it will not affect your chances of becoming pregnant.

Can Akira Cream be taken for nose bleeding?
