A triple-combination product for the treatment of moderate-to-severe melasma shows a clinical success rate double that of previously used compounds. The once-daily regimen containing hydroquinone, a depigmenting agent (4.0%), tretinoin, a retinoid (0.05%), and fluocinolone acetonide (Tri-Luma), a low-potency steroid (0.01%), has a favorable safety profile and is well tolerated by patients. Tri-Luma received US Food and Drug Administration marketing approval earlier this year.
“Tri-Luma is a welcome addition to the dermatology marketplace,” Pearl Grimes, MD, associate clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California at Los Angeles, tells WebMD. “As a therapeutic material for melasma, it requires no extemporaneous compounding.”
