Medication Guide
About tretinoin gel
A reference for discussing tretinoin gel with a licensed Canadian healthcare provider. Read the monograph for your specific product and speak with your provider about personal safety considerations.
01Tretinoin gel product information
Tretinoin is a prescription topical retinoid, a medication related to vitamin A. Retin-A® tretinoin gel 0.025% is made by Bausch Health and supplied in a 30 g tube. Read the Canadian product monograph for its authorized use; your healthcare provider determines whether a prescription is appropriate.
02Using and storing your prescribed product
Follow your pharmacy label and the Canadian product monograph. Tretinoin gel is for use on the skin only; keep it away from the eyes, mouth, corners of the nose and broken skin. Do not change how you apply a medication without discussing it with your provider or pharmacist.
03Important safety information
Skin redness, dryness, peeling, stinging and a feeling of warmth are commonly reported, especially in the first weeks of use. Tretinoin can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, so limit sun exposure, avoid sunlamps and use sun protection as advised.
Canadian product information advises against using tretinoin during pregnancy. Tell your provider if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and contact your provider or pharmacist if irritation is severe or does not settle.
04Retin-A® and other tretinoin products
Tretinoin is available in Canada in different products, forms and strengths, including gels and creams. Products may differ in concentration, base, manufacturer and inactive ingredients.
Do not substitute between products or strengths without prescriber and pharmacist review. Consult the Canadian product monograph for the product actually dispensed to you.
05What to discuss with your provider
Tell your healthcare provider about all medicines, supplements and allergies, other acne or skincare products you use (including exfoliants, peels, and products with benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or other retinoids), skin conditions such as eczema, recent sunburn, and whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
