Indications - For topical application in the treatment of acne vulgaris in which comedones, papules and pustules predominate.

Dosage & Administration - This cream should be applied sparingly to the whole affected area once or twice daily. The skin should be thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Patient should be advised that 6 to 8 weeks of treatment may be required before a therapeutic effect is observed. Moisturizers and cosmetics may be used during treatment with Tretinoin cream but should not be applied to the skin at the same time. Astringent toiletries should be avoided.

Side Effects - Initial external application of Tretinoin generally may cause burning or slight irritation, erythema and peeling at the site of application may also occur. If irritation becomes severe and persists, discontinue application and consult your physicians, if necessary.

Contraindications - Tretinoin is contraindicated to those who are highly sensitive to any of the ingredients. This cream should not be used in patients with a personal or family history of cutaneous epithelioma (skin cancer).

Others - Pregnancy & Lactation There is an inadequate evidence of the safety of topically applied Tretinoin in human pregnancy. Tretinoin has been associated with teratogenicity in human when administered systemically. So the cream should not be used during pregnancy and lactation.
