Tazret Forte uses
Doctors may prescribe Tazret for treating various skin disorders:
Psoriasis
It is an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation in your skin. The inflammation may appear as raised plaques and scales. Forte Cream treats itchy, scaly, red, dry patches on the skin and scalp.
Acne Vulgaris
A skin condition caused due to excess oil production and the accumulation of dirt in the skin pores. It may result in blackheads, whiteheads, and acne.
How does Tazret Forte Cream work
Tazret cream contains Tazarotene, a vitamin A-derived Retinoid.
It has anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties (reduces the multiplication of skin cells).
This Tazarotene 0.1 cream slows skin cell growth and prevents the production of substances that cause inflammation (swelling and redness).
Tazret gradually restores skin health and helps to reduce the redness, scaling, and thickness of Psoriasis rashes.
Dosage
Always follow your doctor's recommendations while using medicines like Tazret Forte.
How to use

Missed Dose
