What is Eukroma (Hydroquinone) used for?

Eukroma (Hydroquinone) is a topical medication used to lighten the skin and reduce the appearance of freckles, chloasma, age spots, or acne scars. It operates by reducing the pigmentation at the area of application to lighten the skin. Your doctor may also recommend the use of this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Eukroma (Hydroquinone)?

Eukroma (Hydroquinone) should be used strictly according to your doctor`s instructions as misuse or over-use can severely damage your skin and health. The normal dosage is one or two daily applications to the affected area, but your particular instructions will depend on your health condition and the severity of your symptoms. To use the medicine rinse and dry the area to remove dirt or loose skin, apply a small amount of cream, gently massage it into the skin, and leave the area uncovered to allow any excess medicine to evaporate. After the first application you are recommended to wait twenty four hours before using the medicine again to see if any allergic reactions occur. Wash your hands using soap and water after each application to prevent the medicine from contacting any mucous membranes or areas of skin not being treated. Ask your pharmacist or doctor any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.

What are the side effects of Eukroma (Hydroquinone)?

Eukroma (Hydroquinone) may cause side effects in some patients such as:

• Mild stinging or burning
• Slight redness or swelling of the skin
• Dry or flaking skin

Stop using the cream and contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe pain or signs of an allergic reaction including hives, severe rashes, swelling, or shortness of breath. These conditions may require reduced frequency of application or emergency medical attention in serious cases to prevent further health problems from occurring.
