2.1 Important

Administration Instructions Tazarotene cream is for topical use only. Tazarotene cream is not for ophthalmic, oral, or intravaginal use. If contact with mucous membranes occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Wash hands thoroughly after application.

2.2 Psoriasis

It is recommended that treatment starts with tazarotene cream, 0.05% with strength increased to 0.1% if tolerated and medically indicated. Apply a thin film (2 mg/cm 2 ) of tazarotene cream once per day, in the evening, to cover only the psoriatic lesions. If a bath or shower is taken prior to application, the skin should be dry before applying the cream. If emollients are used, they should be applied at least an hour before application of tazarotene cream. Because unaffected skin may be more susceptible to irritation, application of tazarotene cream to these areas should be carefully avoided.
