Description of Tri-Luma
A topical cream, Tri-Luma is a combination of three medicines - fluocinolone acetonide (0.01%), tretinoin (0.05%), and hydroquinone (4%). The generic name of this drug is Fluocinolone, Hydroquinone, and Tretinoin Topical.
Fluocinolone is a corticosteroid and provides relief from itching, redness, and swelling. Hydroquinone is an effective skin bleaching agent. It treats melanin hyper-pigmentation by inhibiting the production of melanin. The third active ingredient, Tretinoin, comes under a category of drugs referred as retinoids. It accelerates skin shredding, allowing new skin to surface faster.
In addition to the aforementioned three active ingredients, Tri-Luma cream also contains the following nonmedical ingredients: PEG-100 stearate, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, stearyl alcohol, stearic acid, citric acid, sodium Metabisulfite, purified water, butylated hydroxytoluene, glycerine, propylparaben, methylparaben, magnesium aluminum silicate, and methyl gluceth-10.
Indications & Dosage of Tri-Luma
Tri-Luma is used as a short-term treatment for melasma, a condition marked by brown patchy discoloration of the facial skin. Exposure to sunlight and use of hormonal forms of birth control are listed as the most common causes of this condition.
Tri-Luma improves melasma but does not address its underlying causes. Exposure to the underlying causes of melasma may cause the condition to resurface. Tri-Luma is not a cure for the aforementioned condition nor it is meant to be used as a maintenance therapy.
You should apply a thin layer of Tri-Luma cream on the affected area once daily, half an hour before bedtime. The treatment period depends on patient’s response to the drug. Stop using the drug once your melasma has completely healed.
You should keep the following pointers related to administration of Tri-Luma cream in mind:
