Renova
Drug Uses
Renova used to treat wrinkles, brown spots, and surface roughness
on the face. Renova is also effective against stretch marks,
such as those seen on the abdominal wall in women after pregnancy.
This can also be used to treat acne. Renova works by binding
to specific cell receptors of skin after a topical application.
After the cell receptors have been activated, there is a modification
in gene expression, subsequent protein synthesis, and cell
growth and differentiation. Thus, the epidermal cell is modified
to produce a greater amount of new skin. In clinical studies
there is an enhanced production of collagen in areas of treated
skin.
Apply a thin layer to affected area once a day at bedtime.
Use a gauze pad or cotton swab to apply the liquid. Wash your
hands immediately after use. Using this medication more frequently
or in excessive amounts does not improve the results, but
may increase side effects. Avoid applying near the eyes, mouth,
or open cuts since this medication can irritate sensitive
skin. Acne may appear to worsen when the medication is first
used; continue therapy. It may take three to six weeks before
the full benefits of this medication are seen. Use mild soap
when washing your face. Do not wash face excessively. Abrasive
soaps, cleansers, medicated creams or lotions can increase
skin irritation. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about their
use. Use other acne preparations with caution while using
this medication.
This medication can increase sensitivity to sunlight, wind
and cold. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and sunlamps.
Wear protective clothing and use an effective sunscreen. This
medication should be used during pregnancy only if clearly
needed. It is not known if Renova appears in breast milk.
Consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Use mild soap when
washing your face. Do not wash face excessively. Abrasive
soaps, cleansers, medicated creams or lotions can increase
skin irritation. Use other acne preparations with caution
while using Renova.
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as remembered; do not use
if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose
and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up"
the dose to catch up.
Immediately after applying, the skin may feel warm or mild
stinging or redness may occur. Some peeling of the skin may
occur. These effects should subside as your skin adjusts to
the medication. If they persist or become bothersome, stop
the medication. This medicine may also increase sun sensitivity.
Renova may also cause itchiness and scaling of the skin. You
may experience some itching or scaling if too much Renova
is applied.
Store at room temperature away from sunlight. Keep this and
all medications out of the reach of children.
An overdose of this medication is unlikely to occur. If you
do suspect an overdose, or if Renova has been ingested, call
an emergency room or poison control left near you.
If you have been previously treated with keratolytic preparations
or exfoliants, you should wait until any skin rash clears
up before beginning even low strength treatment. Studies of
the effect of this product on pregnant women are incomplete.
For this reason, it should only be applied when absolutely
necessary and always under a doctor's supervision.
