Retin-A Medical 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 Retin-A: Patient instructions
are available with the product. Read them carefully before using.
Apply a thin layer to affected area at bedtime. Use a gauze pad
or cotton swab to apply the liquid. 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. Even though 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.
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. Notify your doctor if you
experience: blistering, crusting, redness, severe burning or
swelling of the skin. If you notice other effects not listed
above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
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. 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. Retin-A should be used only
when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits
with your doctor. It is not known if Retin-A passes into breast
milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
