Important Information
Tazarotene Cream 0.5% is intended for external use only and should be applied as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, and other sensitive areas. Use sunscreen and limit unnecessary exposure to sunlight because the treated skin may become more sensitive to UV radiation. Avoid applying to severely irritated, sunburned, or damaged skin unless advised. Tazarotene is contraindicated during pregnancy because retinoids may cause fetal harm; inform your healthcare professional if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
