Introduction

RG-TX SR is a prescription medication that contains three active ingredients: Tranexamic Acid, L Glutathione Reduced, and L Ascorbic Acid. It is available in tablet form and is commonly used for various medical conditions.

Uses

RG-TX SR is primarily prescribed to treat conditions such as:

• Melasma: a common skin condition characterized by dark patches on the face.
• Hyperpigmentation: excessive darkening of certain areas of the skin.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: darkening of the skin that occurs after injury or inflammation.

Generally, the recommended dosage for adults is one tablet per day. The tablet should be taken orally with a glass of water, preferably after a meal.

Mechanism of Action

RG-TX SR works through the combined action of its active ingredients. Tranexamic Acid helps reduce the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin coloration. L Glutathione Reduced acts as an antioxidant and helps to lighten the skin by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin synthesis. L Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) also contributes to the skin-lightening effect by reducing melanin production and promoting collagen synthesis.
