What is Renova? |
| | | | |
Drug Uses
Renova reduces the prominence of skin conditions on the face, such as wrinkles, discoloration, and roughness. The medication usually comes as a topical preparation of vitamin A; it works for skin renewal by binding with certain cell receptors after an application. The epidermal cells on the treatment area are consequently encouraged to produce an increased amount of healthy new skin. Renova can also be used for other conditions determined by a doctor.
How to Take Renova
Make sure that the treatment area is clean and dry. Wash your hands and face prior to making an application, then wait for about twenty minutes or more before applying a minimal amount of the medicine on specific areas on the face. Leave the application for more than an hour after treatment; do not use any astringent or antiseptic to wash off the medication until the said period has lapsed. Using too much amounts may cause in a ‘pile-up’ of medication; use less amounts of the gel on the following application in such instances.
Drug Precautions
Renova enhances your skin’s sensitivity to the elements, especially to ultraviolet light. Limit your exposure to sunlight, and avoid using sunlamps altogether. Use a sun block with an SPF of at least 15, or wear ample layers of protective clothing whenever you go out in the sun. Try to avoid letting the medication get into your facial orifices; if it does, flush it out with plenty of water. Avoid applying it on broken skin, eczema, or open wounds, as well as to sunburned, dry, irritated, or windburned skin; wait for these conditions to heal before you use Renova on the affected areas.
Drug Interactions
Do not administer any skin product which contains benzoyl peroxide, sulfur compounds, resorcinol, or salycilic acid unless otherwise instructed; these substances can irritate the skin if they are used in combination with Renova. Other medications can make your skin hypersensitive to ultraviolet rays, including: diuretics; antibiotic medication like lomefloxacin, sparfloxacin, or ofloxacin; prochlorperazine, promethazine, and chlorpromazine; minocycline or demeclocycline; and sulfate drugs. Do not take these medications without medical permission.
Side Effects
Discontinue your use of Renova if you suffer an allergic reaction after an application, as indicated by inflammation and hives; call for medical attention at once if these occur. Follow your application schedule under medical supervision if you incur these less severe conditions: burning, peeling, irritation, skin discoloration, warmth, tingling, itching, inflammation, redness, and dryness.
Missed Dose
Administer the missed application once you remember it. Although this usually does not have a significant effect on the overall results of Renova, continuous, regular applications provide the best possible benefits.
Overdose
Excessive applications of Renova do not result in an overdose; if you have ingested any amount of the medication, call for immediate treatment from a poison control center in your area.
Storage
Store Renova in cool areas, within ideal room temperatures. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight and sources of moisture. The container cap should be tightly closed at all times.
