Overview Zorotene Forte Gel

Forte Zorotene Gel treats psoriasis and acne by regulating excessive skin cell growth. Apply only to affected areas, avoiding healthy skin; it's for external use only. Follow your doctor's instructions precisely. Ensure the area is clean and dry before application. Wash hands thoroughly before and after use. Consistent application maximizes benefits. Avoid overuse; it won't accelerate healing and may increase side effects. Report any worsening or persistence beyond four weeks to your physician. Maintaining cleanliness aids effectiveness. Common temporary side effects include application-site itching, redness, irritation, dryness, burning, and peeling; persistent effects warrant medical consultation. Avoid eye contact; rinse with water and seek medical help if contact occurs. Protect treated areas from sun exposure with clothing or sunscreen. Inform your doctor of pregnancy, pregnancy plans, or breastfeeding before use due to potential birth defect risks.
