Uses of Renova
Renova is used to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing
fine lines and wrinkles, reducing roughness and improving
coloration. Renova can also be used to treat acne.
Renova Directions
Renova is for use on the face as directed, usually once a day at
bedtime. Apply a pea-size amount of Renova cream to clean, dry
skin on the face being careful to avoid the eyes, nostrils and
mouth. Wash hands after use. Do not use Renova more often than
prescribed or in large amounts. Renova will not give your faster
or better results but will increase the risk of side effects. Do
not use Renova on sunburn or eczema or other serious skin
conditions. Effects of Renova will be gradual with most
improvement seen in the first 6 months of continued therapy. If
Renova is used for acne the condition may worsen at first, then
improve.
Renova Side Effects
You may experience mild redness or stinging, itching, burning,
skin scaling, peeling and dry skin the first several weeks as
your body adjusts to Renova. If any of these effects continue or
become severe, discontinue use and notify your doctor.
Renova Precautions
Before using Renova tell your doctor if you have any
pre-existing skin disorders or if you have any allergies. Renova
increases your sensitivity to the sun. Limit sun exposure and
avoid sun lamps. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing
when outdoors. Renova should be used only when clearly needed
during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your
doctor. It is unknown if Renova is excreted into breast milk.
Consult with your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug Interactions with Renova
Tell your doctor of any nonprescription or prescription
medication you may take including isotretinoin, amiodarone,
tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, sulfa-drugs or
phenothiazines as they increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Also
minoxidil and any skin medication, soaps, cleansers, cosmetics,
astringents or any facial products that may be drying or
irritating (e.g., alcohol-containing facial products). Benzoyl
peroxide should not be applied at the same time as
Renova.
Missed Dose of Renova
If you miss a dose of Renova, apply it as soon as remembered; do
not use Renova if it is near the time for the next dose, instead,
skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do
not "double-up" the amount of Renova used to catch up.
Renova Storage
Store Renova at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15
and 25 degrees C). Do not freeze. Keep Renova and all medications
out of the reach of children.
Renova Notes
Renova is not a cosmetic. Renova is to be used in conjunction
with a comprehensive skin care and sun avoidance
program. |
