FAQ's on Tazotene DS Gel
Can I use cosmetics while using Tazotene?
Cosmetics and skin care products can be used but preferably 1 hour before or after using Tazotene. This is done so that the cosmetics/skin care products are allowed to pass slowly through the skin and absorbed completely. Avoid using products which have excessive drying effect.
How long does it take Tazotene to work?
The recommended duration differs for different ailments. The symptoms of acne usually improve within 4 weeks of treatment with Tazotene. However, for treating psoriasis, the symptoms may take about 1 to 4 weeks in showing improvement. Inform your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or get worse.
Is Tazotene safe to be used in pregnancy?
Tazotene is not advised to be taken during pregnancy. An effective birth control should be used for a woman of child bearing potential. However, in order to conceive, consult your doctor about a time period after which pregnancy can be contemplated after using Tazotene. In case, you become pregnant while using this medicine, stop using it and contact your doctor immediately as this product may cause birth defects.
What precautions do I need to follow while applying Tazotene?
Tazotene should not be used on healthy, eczematous or inflamed skin, as it may cause severe irritation. Externally used medications and cosmetics that have a strong drying effect should be avoided. Weather extremes, such as wind or cold, may be more irritating to patients using Tazotene. Avoid excessive exposure to UV rays (sun, solarium, PUVA therapy, or UVB therapy) during the treatment. Use sunscreen and protective clothing during Tazotene therapy.
How should Tazotene be applied?
A thin film of the Tazotene should be applied once daily in the evening. Care should be taken to apply it only to areas of affected skin, avoid application to healthy skin or in skin folds. Treatment is limited to 10% body surface area (approximately equivalent to the total skin area of one arm).
Is Tazotene good for skin?
Yes, Tazotene has been identified to be useful for skin. It works by increasing the thickness of the outer skin layers which helps in reducing facial wrinkles and discoloration. It is generally helpful in patients who are using other skin care and sunlight avoidance programs.
Does Tazotene help with acne scars?
Tazotene is used for treating acne along with reducing blackheads and whiteheads. It acts by slowing skin cell overgrowth and decreasing skin cell inflammation, which can lead to acne.
