How to use Atralin^®

Correct application
Apply Atralin once a day before bedtime, or as directed by your dermatologist.

1. First, wash your skin with a mild, non-medicated soap or cleanser, like CeraVe^® Foaming Facial Cleanser, and gently pat dry.
2. Squeeze a small amount (about the size of a pea) onto your fingertip and dab Atralin on your forehead, chin, and both cheeks. Using more Atralin, or using it more often than your dermatologist tells you to, won't make it work better or faster and could cause irritation.
3. Gently spread Atralin on your skin, avoiding your mouth, the corners of your nose, the skin close to your eyes, and any open sores—spread Atralin away from these areas.
4. You can wear cosmetics with Atralin. Just be sure to remove cosmetics and clean the area thoroughly before applying Atralin. Talk to your dermatologist about recommended cosmetics.

For best results, keep using Atralin for as long as your dermatologist has instructed you to. If you don't see immediate results, that doesn't mean Atralin isn't working. Give it at least 12 weeks.

Sun protection
Like many other medications, Atralin can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Here are some important precautions to reduce the risks of sun exposure.

• Spend as little time as possible in the sun
• Use sunscreen of at least SPF 15 when using Atralin or any other topical medication
• Avoid using sunlamps, tanning beds, and medicines that may make you more sensitive to sunlight when using Atralin
• Ask your dermatologist if you have any questions about the medicines you're taking and about what sun protection products are best for you
• When outside, even on hazy days, areas treated with Atralin should be protected; wear protective clothes and wide-brimmed hats
• If you do get sunburned, stop using Atralin until your skin is completely back to normal. Talk to your dermatologist about how to protect your skin if you must be in sunlight

Wind protection
Skin treated with Atralin may dry out or get windburned more easily, so you should avoid cold weather and wind as much as possible.

Indication and Important Safety Information

Atralin Gel is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris and has not been studied in patients younger than 10 years of age. Tell your doctor about all of your health conditions, including if you are allergic to fish; have a skin condition called eczema; are pregnant or planning to become pregnant; or are breastfeeding. To prevent aggravating the skin, you should protect your skin from sun, tanning lights, extreme wind or cold, and harsh skincare products. Use of sunscreen products of at least SPF 15 and protective clothing over treated areas are recommended when exposure cannot be avoided. Use Atralin Gel with caution if you are allergic to fish; if you begin to itch or you develop hives, contact your healthcare provider. The most common adverse reaction was mild to moderate irritation of the skin, which occurred during the first few weeks of treatment with Atralin Gel.
