Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Panretin Work?

Panretin works by binding to retinoic acid receptors (RARs) in the skin, which influences gene expression and regulates cell proliferation and differentiation. This action can help reduce the growth of malignant cells and improve the appearance of skin lesions.



Common Dosages

  • Gel: Usually available in a concentration of 0.1% or 0.5%.

Typical Dosing

  • Adults: The usual recommended dose is to apply a thin layer of Panretin gel to the affected areas once or twice daily, as directed by the healthcare provider. Treatment duration will depend on the individual response and the extent of the lesions.

FDA Approved Indications

  • The topical treatment of AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma in patients with cutaneous lesions.
