RETIN-A
USES
Retin-A is
used in the treatment of acne. It reduces the formation of
pimples and promotes quick healing of pimples that do develop.
HOW TO TAKE RETIN-A
Patient instructions are available with Retin-A. Read them
carefully before using. Apply a thin layer of Retin-A to affected
area at bedtime. Wash hands immediately after use.
Using
this medication more frequently or in excessive amounts does
not improve the results, but may increase side effects. Avoid
applying near the eyes, mouth, or open cuts since this medication
can irritate sensitive skin. Acne may appear to worsen when
the medication is first used; continue therapy. It may take
three to six weeks before the full benefits of this medication
are seen.
RETIN-A SIDE EFFECTS
Immediately after applying, the skin may feel warm or mild
stinging or redness may occur. Some peeling of the skin may
occur. These effects should subside as your skin adjusts to
the medication. If they persist or become bothersome, inform
your doctor. This medicine may also increase sun sensitivity.
RETIN-A PRECAUTIONS
Retin-A can increase sensitivity to sunlight, wind and cold.
Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and sunlamps. Wear protective
clothing and use an effective sunscreen. This medication should
be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not
known if tretinoin appears in breast milk.
Consult your doctor
before breast-feeding. Use mild soap when washing your face.
Do not wash face excessively. Abrasive soaps, cleansers, medicated
creams or lotions can increase skin irritation. Consult your
doctor or pharmacist about their use. Use other acne preparations
with caution while using Retin-A.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Inform your doctor about all the medicines you take with and
without a prescription.
NOTES
Cosmetics may be used, but clean skin thoroughly before applying
Retin-A.
MISSED DOSE
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as remembered; do not use
if it is almost time for the next dose, instead, skip the
missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not
"double-up" the dose to catch up.
STORAGE
Store at room temperature away from sunlight. Keep this and
all medications out of the reach of children.
