Atralin® (tretinoin) Pregnancy C Pediatric

How Supplied:

0.05% gel, 45 g

Indications and Usage:

Atralin Gel is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 10 years of age and older.

Side Effects and Contraindications:

Atralin Gel is a retinoid indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris and has not been studied in patients younger than 10 years of age. Atralin Gel should not be used on eczematous or sunburned skin due to potential for severe irritation. To prevent aggravating the skin, patients should protect their skin from sun, tanning lights, extreme wind or cold, and harsh skincare products. Use of sunscreen products of at least SPF 15 and protective clothing over treated areas are recommended when exposure cannot be avoided. Atralin Gel should be used with caution in patients allergic to fish due to potential for allergenicity to fish protein; patients who develop pruritus or urticaria should contact their healthcare provider. The most common adverse reaction was mild to moderate irritation of the skin (i.e., dry skin, skin burning, erythema, and exfoliative dermatitis), which occurred during the first few weeks of treatment with Atralin Gel.
