Talk:Tretinoin

message: It seems to me we don't need three articles on the same chemical under different names: Tretinoin, All-trans retinoic acid, and Retinoic acid.  I'm not sure which name is best, though my instincts say "tretinoin" or "retinoic acid." --HKMarks(T/C) 04:55, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed a copyright violation:
Although the exact mode of action of tretinoin is unknown, current evidence suggests that topical tretinoin decreases cohesiveness of follicular epithelial cells with decreased blackhead formation. Additionally, tretinoin stimulates mitotic activity and increased turnover of follicular epithelial cells causing extrusion of the blackheads (comedones).
It's exact with two words changed to the information sheet distributed by Clay-Parks-Labs that came with my prescription.  It is useful information, but should be rewritten.

An accurate image, from Nature, a very reputable scholarly source, can be found here: http://www.nature.com/icb/journal/v87/n8/images/icb200948f1.gif  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.225.221 (talk) 19:01, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pregnancy category 

message: For a very strong source for it see Developmental Biology, Gilbert and Barresi 2016, page 26. Reference should be added and INFORMATION SHOULD BE BETTER AVAILABLE FOR A READING MOM. I think Wikipedia acts as a sort of advising aid and should warn for common dangerous mistakes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.138.28.153 (talk) 02:15, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  I think that the pregnancy issue with this drug should be more emphasized.  

message: The most common application of this drug is to reverse photoaging.  The lead should (and now does) say so.  Let's keep it that way, yes?  A loose necktie (talk) 16:00, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

message: My son was prescribed generic Accutane  tretinoin, and had quick onset adverse reactions, including but not limited to psychosis,  intrusive violent  thoughts that did not go away until the medication ran its course out of his body.  Even  though there have been no cases that I have yet to read about with topical tretinoin do you think it wise for said 15 year-old male to  use topical tretinoin?
