Usage

Tazorac (Tazarotene) is a prescription medication for treatment of plaque psoriasis and acne. The active ingredient of Tazorac is tazarotene. This is a topical medication which is intended to be applied to the skin. Tazarotene is a type of medication called a retinoid which is similar to vitamin A. The mechanism of action of tazarotene is unclear, though, it is thought to inhibit the excessive cell growth and keratinisation seen in psoriasis. It therefore reduces the thickening of the skin, plaque formation and scaling. Your doctor may recommend it for other purposes not listed
