Retin-A Information
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 Use
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 Retin-A 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 Retin-A 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 Retin-A
are seen.
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 Retin-A. If they persist or become
bothersome, inform your doctor. This medicine may also
increase sun sensitivity.
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. Retin-A 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 the medication.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of Retin-A, 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 Retin-A at room temperature away from sunlight. Keep this
and all medications out of the reach of children.
