What if I miss an application of Tazorac Cream?
If you are using the tazarotene cream or foam, apply the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply extra cream or foam at the next scheduled dose to make up for a missed dose.
