Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Chemical Name: TRETINOIN (TRET-i-noyn)
RETIN A MICRO GEL is a topical form of vitamin A that is applied to the skin which is prescribed for mild to moderate acne treatment. This medication helps the skin renew itself by reducing the appearance of fine wrinkles and mottled skin discoloration, and to make rough facial skin feel smoother.
RETIN A MICRO GEL is available in different strengths and forms (e.g., gel, cream, solution). The best type of medication for you to use will depend on the condition of your skin and your response to therapy.
RETIN A may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
