Malvern, PA (November 15, 2010) During the indefinite manufacturers backorder of Tri-Luma® Cream, Hydro-Q 4% Gel® has been recommended by many Dermatologists.

According to Dr. Manjula Jegasothy, the founder of the Miami Skin Institute, and is Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology in Miami,” Hydro-Q 4% Gel ®is an excellent choice for the treatment of hyperpigmentation. The active ingredient in Hydro-Q 4% Gel ®is hydroquinone, a skin lightening agent, which is considered to be the gold standard for the treatment of hyperpigmentation”.
Hydro-Q is contraindicated in any patient that has a prior history of sensitivity or allergic reaction to hydroquinone or any of the other ingredients. The safety of use during pregnancy or in children 12 years of age and under has not been established.
