Introduction

RG-TX SR is primarily prescribed to treat conditions such as:
- Melasma: a common skin condition characterized by dark patches on the face.

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.
