Obtain tretinoin only with a valid prescription from a licensed dermatologist or physician. Never purchase tretinoin from unregulated online sources or unauthorized vendors; this risks acquiring counterfeit or contaminated medication. Always verify the legitimacy of your pharmacy.
Prescription and Dispensing
Your prescription should clearly state the dosage (10mg capsules), frequency of use, and total quantity. Discuss potential side effects and interactions with your doctor before starting treatment. Ask your pharmacist about proper storage and disposal instructions.
Storage Guidelines
Store tretinoin capsules in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat or moisture. Room temperature is generally suitable. Keep capsules in their original, tightly sealed container to maintain their potency and prevent degradation. Proper storage prolongs shelf life, but always check the expiration date.
Disposal
Dispose of expired or unwanted tretinoin capsules responsibly. Never flush medication down the toilet. Consult your pharmacist or local waste management authority for safe disposal methods; many pharmacies offer drug take-back programs.
