Tretinoin Gel

Generic Name: Tretinoin Gel (TREH-tih-noyn)
Brand Name: Examples include Avita and Retin-A

Tretinoin Gel is used for:

Treating acne. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Tretinoin Gel is a vitamin A derivative. How it exerts its beneficial effects against acne is not fully known. Tretinoin appears to increase skin-cell turnover and to reduce the tendency for skin cells to stick together. This reduces the formation of acne and allows quicker healing of acne that does develop.

Do NOT use Tretinoin Gel if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Tretinoin Gel

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Tretinoin Gel:

Some medical conditions may interact with Tretinoin Gel. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have eczema, an abnormally high white blood cell count, or a sunburn

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Tretinoin Gel. Because little, if any, of Tretinoin Gel is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.

Ask your health care provider if Tretinoin Gel may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Tretinoin Gel:
