Don't Buy the Hype About New Acne Meds Altreno and Seysara
Altreno (tretinoin) 0.05% lotion and Seysara (sarecycline) tablets for acne will try to crowd onto your pharmacy shelves.
Altreno (al-TREN-oh) is the first tretinoin lotion. It will be promoted as "hydrating," since it has collagen and hyaluronic acid.
Expect a pricing twist from the manufacturer...they're not planning to get Altreno on formularies. It will cost about $120/45 g.
