Questions & Answers
Side Effects & Adverse Reactions
A. Caution: Hydroquinone is a depigmenting agent which may produce unwanted cosmetic effects if not used as directed. The physician should be familiar with the contents of this insert before prescribing or dispensing this medication.
B.Test for skin sensitivity before using Aclaro PD® (hydroquinone USP 4%) bioadhesive emulsion by applying a small amount to an unbroken patch of skin and check within 24 hours. Minor redness is not a contraindication, but where there is itching, vesicle formation, or excessive inflammatory response, further treatment is not advised. Close patient supervision is recommended. Contact with the eyes
should be avoided. If no lightening effect is noted after two months of treatment, use of Aclaro PD® bioadhesive emulsion should be discontinued.
C. Sunscreen use is an essential aspect of hydroquinone therapy because even minimal sunlight exposure sustains melanocyte activity. The sunscreens in Aclaro PD® bioadhesive emulsion provide the necessary sun protection during therapy. During and after the use of Aclaro PD® bioadhesive emulsion, sun exposure should be limited or sun-protective clothing should be used to cover the treated areas to prevent repigmentation.
D. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, contact a physician or poison control center immediately.
E. On rare occasions, a gradual blue-black darkening of the skin may occur. If this occurs, the product should be discontinued and a physician contacted immediately.
