Renova®
(TRETINOIN
CREAM)
Uses
This medication is used to improve the appearance of the skin
by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing roughness and
improving coloration. This can also be used to treat acne.
How
to take this medication
Renova is for use on the face as directed, usually once a
day at bedtime. Apply a pea-size amount of cream to clean,
dry skin on the face being careful to avoid the eyes, nostrils
and mouth. Cover affected area lightly. Wash hands after use.
Do not use this more often than prescribed or in large amounts.
It will not give your faster or better results but will increase
the risk of side effects. Do not use on sunburn or eczema
or other serious skin conditions. Effects of Renova will be
gradual with most improvement seen in the first 6 months of
continued therapy. If used for acne the condition may worsen
at first, then improve.
Side
effects
You may experience mild redness or stinging, itching, burning,
skin scaling, peeling and dry skin the first several weeks
as your body adjusts to Renova. If any of these effects continue
or become severe, discontinue use and notify your doctor.
Precautions
Before taking this medication tell your doctor if you have
any pre-existing skin disorders or if you have any allergies.
This medication increases your sensitivity to the sun. Limit
sun exposure and avoid sun lamps. Use a sunscreen and wear
protective clothing when outdoors. This medication should
be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss
the risks and benefits with your doctor. It is unknown if
this drug is excreted into breast milk. Consult with your
doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug
interactions
Tell your doctor of any nonprescription or prescription medication
you may take including isotretinoin, amiodarone, tetracycline
or quinolone antibiotics, sulfa-drugs or phenothiazines as
they increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Also, inform your
doctor if you are taking minoxidil or any skin medications,
soaps, cleansers, cosmetics, astringents or other facial products
that may be drying or irritating (e.g., alcohol-containing
facial products). Benzoyl peroxide should not be applied at
the same time as this medication.
Notes
This medication is not a cosmetic. It is to be used in conjunction
with a comprehensive skin care and sun avoidance program.
Miss
dose
