Tazarotene

Uses

Tazarotene is used in the treatment of psoriasis and acne.

How it Works

How Tazarotene works Tazarotene is a form of vitamin A. It functions by slowing the rapid growth of skin cells and blocking certain substances that cause inflammation, such as redness and swelling. This action reduces scaling and thickening of the skin in psoriasis and helps to clear acne.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Tazarotene include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), irritation, itching, skin peeling, burning sensation, stinging sensation, worsening of psoriasis, and skin pain.

Expert Advice

  • Tazarotene should be applied according to the dose and duration recommended by your doctor.
  • Complete the full course of treatment, even if you start to feel better.
  • Wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying the medication.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth.
  • If accidental exposure occurs, rinse the area immediately with plenty of water.
  • Avoid exposing your skin to strong sunlight; use a sunscreen lotion or ensure your skin is protected with clothing.
  • Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings, such as bandages, unless instructed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
  • Inform your doctor if the infection has not resolved after four weeks of treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, Tazarotene is beneficial for skin as it increases the thickness of outer skin layers, helping to reduce facial wrinkles and discoloration, especially when combined with other skincare and sun protection measures.
Apply a thin film of Tazarotene once daily in the evening only to the affected areas of skin, avoiding healthy skin and skin folds. Limit treatment to 10% of body surface area, approximately equivalent to one arm.
Tazarotene treats acne by reducing blackheads and whiteheads, slowing skin cell overgrowth, and decreasing inflammation, which may also help improve the appearance of acne scars.
Acne symptoms typically improve within 4 weeks of Tazarotene treatment, while psoriasis symptoms may take 1 to 4 weeks. Consult your doctor if symptoms do not improve or worsen.
Cosmetics and skincare products can be used, preferably 1 hour before or after applying Tazarotene, to ensure proper absorption. Avoid products with excessive drying effects.
Tazarotene is not recommended during pregnancy. Women of childbearing potential should use effective birth control and consult a doctor regarding safe timing for conception post-treatment. If pregnancy occurs while using Tazarotene, discontinue use and contact a doctor immediately as it may cause birth defects.
Avoid using Tazarotene on healthy, eczematous, or inflamed skin to prevent irritation. Steer clear of drying medications and cosmetics, and protect your skin from extreme weather and excessive UV exposure. Use sunscreen and protective clothing.
