You should avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, or lips, in case of accidental contact, patient should rinse eyes, nose, mouth, or lips with water apply a barrier cream eg Vaseline if the area is sore or cracked.

Sunscreen use is an essential aspect of hydroquinone therapy because even minimal sunlight exposure sustains melanocytic activity.

The overall prevalence of sulfite sensitivity in the general population is unknown and probably low. Sulfite sensitivity is seen more frequently in asthmatic than in nonasthmatic people.

Treatment should be limited to relatively small areas of the body at one time since some patients experience a transient skin reddening and a mild burning sensation, which does not preclude treatment.
