Eukroma Cream is a topical dermatological preparation containing hydroquinone as its active pharmaceutical ingredient. It is specifically formulated for the targeted treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders, including melasma, chloasma, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This monograph provides a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of its pharmacological profile, clinical application, and safety considerations for healthcare professionals and informed patients. By inhibiting the enzymatic conversion of tyrosine to melanin, it offers a scientifically-validated approach to achieving a more uniform skin tone.

Common use
Eukroma Cream is primarily indicated for the topical treatment of hyperpigmentation conditions resulting from an overproduction of melanin. Its most frequent applications include the management of melasma (particularly the epidermal type), solar lentigines, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following acne, eczema, or other skin trauma. It is also used off-label for certain cases of ochronosis and other rare pigmentary disorders under specialist supervision. Treatment is typically initiated after a thorough dermatological assessment to confirm diagnosis and rule out malignant pathology.
Dosage and direction
Apply a thin film of Eukroma Cream to the affected areas twice daily, or as directed by a physician. The cream should be gently massaged into the skin until fully absorbed. It is imperative to limit application strictly to hyperpigmented areas, avoiding contact with normal surrounding skin to prevent hypopigmentation. Morning applications must be followed by a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, as hydroquinone increases photosensitivity. Treatment duration should not exceed five months continuously without medical reassessment. A gradual reduction in frequency may be recommended for maintenance therapy.
Precautions
Prior to initiation, perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area to assess for hypersensitivity. Discontinue use immediately if irritation, redness, or itching occurs. This product is for external use only and must not be applied to broken, inflamed, or sunburned skin. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and mucous membranes. Due to increased photosensitivity, sun exposure should be minimized, and protective clothing worn when outdoors. Regular dermatological monitoring is advised during prolonged use to assess efficacy and screen for rare adverse effects like exogenous ochronosis.
Contraindications
Eukroma Cream is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to hydroquinone or any component of the formulation. It should not be used by individuals with a history of mercury sensitivity, as hydroquinone may release trace amounts. Use is contraindicated in patients with pre-existing ochronosis or other rare pigmentary disorders not associated with melanin overproduction. It is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation due to insufficient safety data, and should not be used on children under 12 years of age unless under specialist supervision.
Possible side effects
The most commonly reported adverse reactions are mild, transient erythema and skin irritation, which often subside with continued use. Less frequently, patients may experience dryness, stinging, or mild burning sensations. Rare but serious side effects include allergic contact dermatitis, paradoxical hyperpigmentation, and exogenous ochronosis—a permanent blue-black discoloration more prevalent with higher concentrations and prolonged use. Discoloration of fingernails may occur with improper application. Any persistent or severe reaction warrants immediate discontinuation and medical consultation.
Drug interaction
Concomitant use with other topical agents containing benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, or other strong oxidizing agents may cause temporary skin darkening and should be avoided. Caution is advised when using with other topical retinoids, corticosteroids, or salicylic acid, as this may increase irritation potential. No systemic interactions have been documented due to minimal percutaneous absorption. Always inform your healthcare provider of all topical and systemic medications currently in use to avoid potential incompatibilities.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, apply it as soon as remembered, unless it is nearly time for the next scheduled application. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed application. Consistency in application is important for optimal results, but occasional missed doses are unlikely to significantly impact overall treatment efficacy. Maintain the regular dosing schedule thereafter.
Overdose
Topical overdose is characterized by severe skin irritation, burning, redness, or scaling. In case of accidental ingestion, which is extremely rare due to the formulation, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of oral overdose may include tinnitus, dizziness, nausea, respiratory distress, and methemoglobinemia. There is no specific antidote; treatment is supportive and symptomatic. Topical overdose management involves immediate cessation, gentle cleansing, and application of a bland emollient.
Storage
Store Eukroma Cream at room temperature (15-30°C), protected from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use to prevent oxidation and degradation of the active ingredient. Discard any cream that has changed color or consistency. Keep out of reach of children and pets. The product has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions.

Reviews
Clinical studies and dermatological practice consistently report Eukroma Cream as an effective first-line treatment for hyperpigmentation when used appropriately. In controlled trials, over 70% of patients showed significant improvement in melasma after 12 weeks of use. Dermatologists emphasize the importance of sun protection alongside treatment for optimal outcomes. Patient-reported outcomes indicate high satisfaction with results, though some note the necessity of patience, as visible improvements typically require 4-8 weeks of consistent use. Long-term users highlight the importance of periodic breaks to maintain efficacy and minimize potential side effects.
