Tazorac (TAZ-or-ac, tazarotene), a new topical retinoid gel

August 1997

    Allergan is introducing Tazorac (TAZ-or-ac, tazarotene), a new topical retinoid gel. It's approved for both acne AND psoriasis.

    Topical retinoids have been used for some time for acne...but Tazorac is the first one for PSORIASIS.
