Medicine overview
A Ret TZ Gel 0.1% w/w contains tazarotene, a topical retinoid used for certain forms of acne and plaque psoriasis. It is applied directly to affected skin rather than taken by mouth. Tazarotene changes processes involved in skin-cell growth and differentiation. The 0.1% gel strength is used for mild to moderate facial acne vulgaris and may also be used for stable plaque psoriasis affecting a limited area of the body. Skin irritation and increased sensitivity to sunlight are important considerations during treatment.
What it is used for
A Ret TZ Gel is used on the skin for mild to moderate facial acne vulgaris. Tazarotene 0.1% gel is also indicated for stable plaque psoriasis involving no more than 20% of the body's surface area. For acne, treatment helps reduce both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions. The medicine should be used only on the affected areas and for the condition for which it was prescribed.
How it works
Tazarotene is a retinoid prodrug, meaning the skin converts it into its active form, tazarotenic acid. This active substance interacts with retinoic acid receptors that regulate gene activity involved in skin-cell growth and differentiation. These effects help normalize abnormal skin-cell processes associated with acne and plaque psoriasis. The complete clinical mechanism responsible for its benefits in these conditions is not fully established.
How it is taken
A Ret TZ Gel is for external use on the skin only. For acne, gently cleanse the face, allow the skin to dry, and apply a thin layer to the areas where acne lesions occur, as directed by the prescriber. Tazarotene gel is generally applied once daily in the evening. Avoid the eyes, mouth, other mucous membranes, and unaffected skin where possible. Wash your hands after application. Do not use more gel than directed.
Important warnings
Do not use tazarotene during pregnancy or if you are allergic to tazarotene or another ingredient in the product. People who can become pregnant require appropriate pregnancy precautions because tazarotene may harm a developing fetus. The gel can cause marked redness, burning, itching, peeling, blistering, or other local irritation and should not be applied to eczematous, sunburned, or significantly irritated skin. Avoid excessive sunlight and sunlamps, and use sunscreen and protective clothing. Other strongly drying or irritating topical products may worsen skin reactions. Extra caution is required with medicines that increase sensitivity to sunlight, including certain tetracyclines, thiazides, fluoroquinolones, phenothiazines, and sulfonamides. Seek medical advice for severe skin reactions, swelling, hives, or persistent eye exposure or irritation.
Side effects and monitoring
Common effects with tazarotene 0.1% gel include peeling or flaking, burning or stinging, dry skin, redness, and itching. Irritation, skin pain, fissuring, localized swelling, and changes in skin color occur less commonly. Blistering, dermatitis, hives, marked exfoliation, swelling, and significant hypersensitivity reactions have also been reported after marketing. Contact the prescriber if irritation becomes severe or persistent. Treatment tolerance should be monitored, particularly when redness, peeling, burning, or discomfort develops. Sun sensitivity is also important, so protection from excessive ultraviolet exposure is recommended.
Pregnancy
Contraindicated during pregnancy. Tazarotene is a retinoid with potential to cause fetal harm. People who can become pregnant should have a negative pregnancy test within 2 weeks before starting treatment, begin treatment during a normal menstrual period, and use effective contraception during treatment. Stop using tazarotene and contact the prescriber promptly if pregnancy occurs.
Breastfeeding
It is not known whether tazarotene is present in human breast milk or what effects it could have on a breastfed infant or milk production. The benefits of breastfeeding, the clinical need for treatment, and potential risks to the child should be considered with a healthcare professional.
Food and drink
No food or drink restrictions are established for topical tazarotene gel. The medicine is applied to the skin and is not intended to be swallowed.
Storage
Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F); permitted temperature excursions are 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F).
Frequently asked questions
Does tazarotene cause peeling or dryness when I first use it?
It can. Peeling, dryness, redness, itching, and burning or stinging are among the common reactions to tazarotene 0.1% gel. Contact your prescriber if irritation becomes severe or persistent.
Can I use moisturizer with A Ret TZ Gel?
Moisturizers may be used with tazarotene. If you are being treated for psoriasis, official labeling advises applying an emollient at least one hour before the gel.
Does tazarotene make skin more sensitive to sunlight?
Yes. Tazarotene can increase susceptibility to sunburn. Minimize excessive sunlight and sunlamp exposure and use sunscreen and protective clothing.
Can I put A Ret TZ Gel on irritated or sunburned skin?
No. Avoid applying tazarotene to sunburned or significantly irritated skin until it has recovered, and do not use it on eczematous skin because severe irritation can occur.
Can I use other acne products at the same time?
Some topical products can increase dryness and irritation when combined with tazarotene. Products with a strong drying or irritating effect should generally be avoided unless your prescriber has specifically advised otherwise.
Can A Ret TZ Gel be used during pregnancy?
No. Tazarotene is contraindicated during pregnancy because it may cause fetal harm. People who can become pregnant need pregnancy testing and effective contraception as directed before and during treatment.
How quickly should acne improve with tazarotene?
Improvement is not necessarily immediate. Clinical studies of tazarotene 0.1% gel for facial acne evaluated treatment over 12 weeks, so follow the prescribed course rather than applying extra gel to try to obtain faster results.
