TOPINOID 0.05% TOP. GEL 15 GM

Indication Used to treat psoriasis acne and sun damaged skin (photodamage). Mechanism of action Although the exact mechanism of tazarotene action is not known studies have shown that the active form of the drug (tazarotenic acid) binds to all three members of the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) family: RARa RARb and RARg but shows relative selectivity for RARb and RARg and may modify gene expression. It also has affinity for RXR receptors.
