Tazarotene uk
Tazarotene uk is a prescription medication that can be used to treat skin conditions like psoriasis and acne. It's also sometimes used as an anti-aging treatment to reduce wrinkles and lighten skin colouring. It is a type of drug called a retinoid and works by slowing the growth of skin cells, reducing inflammation, and unclogging blocked pores. It's available in topical cream and gel form, which you apply directly to the skin, and in oral capsules, which you take by mouth.
There is some evidence that tazarotene can improve the appearance of photodamaged skin, but results from trials are mixed. In one trial, 80% of patients treated with tazarotene said their photodamage was improved after 12 weeks compared to less than 45% of those who received vehicle cream (Kang et al 2001). This difference may have been due to the use of a moisturizer in the tazarotene group and a requirement that patients limit sun exposure and use sunscreen during the study.
If you're taking tazarotene, it's important to follow your doctor's instructions exactly. It can cause side effects such as redness, dryness, itching, and peeling of the skin if not used correctly. Use it as often as directed, even if you don't see immediate results. It can also increase your sensitivity to UV rays so you should always wear sunscreen when using this drug.
It's also important to avoid combining tazarotene with other medications, especially ones that are taken orally. Some medications can interfere with how well this medication works or make the side effects worse. Always tell your doctor and pharmacist what other medicines you're taking, including any non-prescription drugs.tazarotene uk
