TRECLIN OINTMENT works by replacing damaged skin cells with newer ones, thus restoring the skin. However, it may take up to three to six months to complete noticeable results.

How does TRECLIN OINTMENT work?

Together, these two medicines help stop or slow the growth of bacteria and prevent acne.

Can I use TRECLIN OINTMENT every night?

You can use TRECLIN OINTMENT every night if recommended by your doctor and if your skin can tolerate it. Generally, it is used a few times a week at bedtime, with frequency gradually increasing as your skin adapts.

Is it safe to use TRECLIN OINTMENT during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

TRECLIN OINTMENT is generally not recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester, due to potential risks to the foetus. TRECLIN OINTMENT contains Tretinoin, which may cause birth defects. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your doctor before using TRECLIN OINTMENT to assess the risks and explore alternatives.
