Q: I am a doctor and have recently moved to India from UK. My patient is suffering from hirsutism. Is eflornithine skin cream available in India? I know about cream called Vaniqa (efornithine 13.9%) but there is no information to suggest if any alternative is available in India.
A:Eflornithine for topical application is neither approved nor marketed in India.
