What is Tazarotene Gel 0.1%?

Tazarotene Gel 0.1% is a topical dermatological medication used in the treatment of acne and psoriasis. It belongs to a class of medicines known as retinoids, which are derived from vitamin A and work by regulating skin cell growth and reducing inflammation.

This gel is commonly prescribed for patients with moderate to severe acne as well as plaque psoriasis, helping to improve skin texture and reduce visible lesions.
