Retin A Warnings

Retin A is a category C FDA pregnancy drug. Therefore, using this medicine during pregnancy could harm a growing fetus. Before you start a treatment with Tretinoin, you must inform your personal physician if you are pregnant or if you are planning to be so soon. It has been determined that this medicine’s main ingredients are able to pass into breastmilk. Ask your personal physician if it is safe to start using Retin A if you are currently nursing an infant.

During your treatment with Retin A you should avoid prolonged and unprotected exposure to artificial UV rays (tanning beds or sunlamps) or to direct sunlight. A treatment with this medicine is known to increase the patient’s skin’s sensitivity to direct sunlight, thus leading to severe sunburn. However, if you cannot avoid exposure to sunlight, sunlamps or tanning beds, you must use an effective sunscreen (at least SPF 15). It is recommended that you should wear protective clothing. Avoid letting this medication get in direct contact with your eyes, nose, mouth or with your lips. However, if a small amount of this medicine somehow gets into contact with any of the areas that have been listed here, you should wash it with plenty of water.

You must avoid using Retin A on windburned, sunburned, irritated, chapped, or broken skin or on skin areas that are suffering from any forms of Eczema. If you do have any of these medical conditions you should first wait for them to heal before you consider using this medicine. Do not stop your treatment with Retin A without your physician’s approval even if you start to feel better after a few days of treatment (in some cases, the symptoms improve even if the infection has not completely healed). Some patients have to use this medicine for several months before they can finally see the results of their treatment. If you have been prescribed this drug to treat acne, your skin condition might worsen for a short period of time at the beginning of the treatment. If this persists for more than 12 weeks or if your medical condition has not improved after 3 months of treatment you must alert your personal physician.
