Abiquin Cream (Hydroquinone Tretinoin And Fluocinolone) is prescribed for the short-term treatment of moderate to severe facial melasma. Patients should avoid sun exposure while using this cream and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
Abiquin Cream combines three active agents—Fluocinolone Acetonide, Hydroquinone, and Tretinoin—which are commonly used in the management of melasma.
- Fluocinolone Acetonide is a topical corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation.
- Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent that interferes with melanin production by inhibiting the tyrosine-tyrosinase pathway.
- Tretinoin is a keratolytic that promotes skin cell turnover.
Though the exact mechanism by which the combination works against melasma is not fully understood, the synergistic action of these components provides a therapeutic benefit.
