Side Effects

A very few patients may get severe allergic reactions from this cream. They may have trouble breathing or severe asthma attacks. While patients use this cream, skin may develop mild to moderate redness, peeling, burning, dryness or itching.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy Category C. This cream contains the teratogen, tretinoin, which may cause embryo-fetal death, altered fetal growth, congenital malformations and potential neurologic deficits. It is difficult to interpret the animal studies on teratogenicity with this cream, because the availability of the dermal applications in these studies cannot be assured and comparison with clinical dosing is not possible. There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women. This cream should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Lactation: Corticosteroids, when systemically administered, the drug appear in human milk. It is not known whether topical application of this cream could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities of Fluocinolone Acetonide, Hydroquinone or Tretinoin in human milk. Because many drugs are secreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when this cream is administered to nursing women.

Precautions & Warnings

This cream contains Hydroquinone and Tretinoin that may cause mild to moderate irritation. Local irritation, such as skin reddening, peeling, mild burning sensation, dryness and pruritus may be expected at the site of application. Transient skin reddening or mild burning sensation does not preclude treatment. If a reaction suggests hypersensitivity or chemical irritation, the use of the medication should be discontinued. This cream also contains the corticosteroid Fluocinolone Acetonide. Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids can produce reversible Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis suppression with the potential for glucocorticosteroid insufficiency after withdrawal of treatment. Manifestations of Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia and glucosuria can also be produced by systemic absorption of topical corticosteroid while on treatment. If HPA axis suppression is noted, the use of this cream should be discontinued. Recovery of HPA axis function generally occurs upon discontinuation of topical corticosteroids.
