Tazret Forte Cream

Product Overview

Tazret Forte Cream is a topical treatment formulated with Tazarotene 0.1% w/w as its active ingredient. This dermatological cream is designed for external application to address multiple skin conditions, including acne vulgaris, psoriasis, and photoaging. Recommended for use under medical supervision, this product is not suitable for children below 12 years of age.

Uses

This medicated cream is prescribed for:
– Managing acne vulgaris (characterized by blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and nodules)
– Treating plaque psoriasis (an autoimmune condition causing rapid skin cell buildup)
– Improving signs of photoaging (sun-induced wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmentation)

How to Use

1. Cleanse and dry the affected area before application
2. Apply a thin layer once daily, preferably in the evening
3. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and mucous membranes
4. Wash hands thoroughly after each use
5. Use sun protection (SPF 30+ recommended) during daytime as medication increases photosensitivity

How it Works

As a third-generation retinoid, Tazarotene:
– Regulates keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation
– Normalizes skin cell turnover to prevent clogged pores
– Reduces inflammation associated with acne and psoriasis
– Stimulates collagen production to improve skin elasticity
– Diminishes visible signs of aging

Dosage and Administration

Apply sparingly to affected areas once daily. Avoid:

– Concurrent use with other topical treatments (unless medically advised)
– Excessive sun exposure without protection
– Use on large body surface areas
