Hyderquin Cream 4% 10gm

Hyderquin Cream 4% 10gm is a cream made by Atco Laboratories Ltd that contains Hydroquinone 4%, a skin-lightening (depigmenting) cream. It is used for melasma, freckles, dark spots, age spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Pack size: 10 gm.

Uses of Hyderquin Cream 4% 10gm

Hyderquin Cream 4% 10gm cream is used to gradually lighten areas of skin that have become darker than the surrounding skin. It is prescribed for melasma, freckles, age or sun spots and dark marks left after acne or other skin inflammation. It is meant for treating specific patches rather than lightening normal skin, and results usually take several weeks to appear.

How Hyderquin Cream 4% 10gm works

Hydroquinone blocks tyrosinase, an enzyme that skin cells need to make melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. With less new melanin being produced, darkened patches slowly fade as the skin naturally renews itself.

Possible side effects

Some irritation is common when starting Hyderquin Cream 4% 10gm, especially on sensitive skin. Side effects include:

• Redness
• Stinging or burning
• Dryness or peeling
• Itching
• Mild rash

Stop using it and see your doctor if the treated skin becomes darker or bluish-black, blisters, cracks or becomes very irritated.

Precautions and warnings

• Use it only for the limited period your doctor recommends, as long-term use can cause permanent bluish-black darkening called ochronosis.
• Protect treated skin from the sun every day with sunscreen and covering, as sunlight can quickly undo the results.
• Avoid the eyes, lips and broken skin, and test it on a small area first if you have sensitive skin.
• Do not use it at the same time as benzoyl peroxide or other peroxide products, which can temporarily stain the skin, and avoid other bleaching creams.
• It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor advises it.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
