Generic tretinoin cream is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Tretinoin Cream:

Generic tretinoin cream contains the same active ingredient as the brand-name Renova. It is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards. This means it is designed to work in the same way as Renova. Studies have demonstrated bioequivalence between generic and brand-name tretinoin creams, meaning they have comparable absorption rates and overall effects. However, individual responses to any medication can vary. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about using generic tretinoin cream.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, please visit Access to Generic Drugs in Canada | Canada.ca.

Dosage:

Generic tretinoin is commonly available in a pharmacy compound, at 0.02% concentration and a 60 gm tube size (at this pharmacy), and it is used as a topical cream.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and the condition being treated.

Usage:

Renova (tretinoin cream) is a prescription medication used to reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and mottled facial hyperpigmentation. It is a retinoid that works by increasing skin cell turnover. Your doctor determines the dosage of tretinoin depending on the condition being treated and your needs. It is crucial to follow your doctor's prescribed dosing regimen. (source: the product labeling information, https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2014/021108s015lbl.pdf)

Mechanism of Action:
Renova (tretinoin cream) works by increasing skin cell turnover. Tretinoin is a retinoid that binds to retinoic acid receptors in the skin. This leads to increased cell division and shedding old skin cells, which are replaced by new skin cells. This process helps educe the appearance of wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

Use Renova exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the product monograph in Canada. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.
