Fabior is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris (common acne) in patients 12 years of age and older.
Fabior contains tazarotene, a retinoid prodrug that converts to tazarotenic acid in the skin. It binds to retinoic acid receptors and helps normalize follicular keratinization, reduce microcomedone formation, and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Fabior is for external use only on the skin. It may cause skin irritation, dryness, and increased sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid use during pregnancy as retinoids may cause fetal harm. Patients should use sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this medication.
