Weather extremes, such as wind or cold, may be more irritating to patients using Tazret. Avoid excessive exposure to UV rays (sun, solarium, PUVA therapy, or UVB therapy) during the treatment. Use sunscreen and protective clothing during Tazret therapy.

Can I use cosmetics while using Tazret?

Cosmetics and skin care products can be used but preferably 1 hour before or after using Tazret. 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.

Is Tazret good for skin?

Yes, Tazret 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 Tazret help with acne scars?

Tazret 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.

Is Tazret safe to be used in pregnancy?

Tazret 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 Tazret. In case, you become pregnant while using this medicine, stop using it and contact your doctor immediately as this product may cause birth defects.

How long does it take Tazret to work?

The recommended duration differs for different ailments. The symptoms of acne usually improve within 4 weeks of treatment with Tazret. 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.
