Abbott Rx Hydroquinone Cream Usp

How to Use:

1. Preparation:

   • Cleanse the affected area with a mild soap and pat dry.
   • Conduct a patch test by applying a small amount to a discreet area to check for adverse reactions.

2. Application:

   • Apply a thin layer of Melalite Forte Cream to the hyperpigmented areas once daily, preferably at night.
   • Gently massage until fully absorbed.
   • Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes.

3. Aftercare:

   • Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) during the day to protect treated areas from sun exposure, as hydroquinone can increase sun sensitivity.
   • Limit sun exposure to prevent further pigmentation.

Precautions:

• Allergic Reactions: Discontinue use if you experience excessive irritation, redness, or a burning sensation, and consult a healthcare professional.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The safety of topical hydroquinone during pregnancy or for children under 12 years has not been established. Consult your doctor before use.
• Avoid Concurrent Use: Do not use other skin-lightening products or treatments containing hydrogen peroxide or benzoyl peroxide simultaneously, as they may cause temporary dark staining of the skin.
