Follow all of the directions on the label of your medicine. Do not adjust the dosage or use the medication for a longer or shorter period of time than prescribed.
Do not eat or drink. Tri-Luma can only be applied to the skin. If you get the medicine in your mouth or eyes, rinse them with water.
Most people use Tri-Luma once a day, at least 30 minutes before going to bed. If your doctor instructs you to do anything, do it.
Before you put the medicine on your face, gently wash it with a mild cleanser. After washing, pat the skin dry.
Only put a thin layer of the medicine on the skin with melasma and about 1/2 inch of skin around it. Don’t get the mixture on your lips or in the folds of your nose.
Do not put a bandage on the skin that has been treated. Putting on an application can make your skin absorb more of the drug, which can be harmful.
After putting on the medicine, wash your hands.
Tri-Luma is only meant to be used for a short time until you get the desired results. You shouldn’t use the medicine often to keep your skin from getting darker.
If you use the medicine more often than directed, it won’t work any faster, and it may cause more side effects.
Tri-Luma should be part of a complete skin care plan that includes staying out of the sun, wearing protective clothing, and using good sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
Be sure to keep it out of the heat and dryness at room temperature.
You shouldn’t give them the medicine even if someone else has the same symptoms.
