TAZAROTENE
What precautions do I need to follow while applying Tazret?
Tazret should not be used on healthy, eczematous or inflamed skin, as it may cause severe irritation. Externally used medications and cosmetics that have a strong drying effect should be avoided. Weather extremes, such as wind or cold, may be more irritating to patients using Tazret. Avoid excessive exposure to UV rays (sun, solarium, PUVA therapy, or UVB therapy) during the treatment. Use sunscreen and protective clothing during Tazret therapy.
Can I use cosmetics while using Tazotene?
Cosmetics and skin care products can be used but preferably 1 hour before or after using Tazotene. This is done so that the cosmetics/skin care products are allowed to pass slowly through the skin and absorbed completely. Avoid using products which have excessive drying effect.
How long does it take Tazotene to work?
The recommended duration differs for different ailments. The symptoms of acne usually improve within 4 weeks of treatment with Tazotene. However, for treating psoriasis, the symptoms may take about 1 to 4 weeks in showing improvement. Inform your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or get worse.
Does Tazotene help with acne scars?
Tazotene is used for treating acne along with reducing blackheads and whiteheads. It acts by slowing skin cell overgrowth and decreasing skin cell inflammation, which can lead to acne.
