When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Elevated liver enzymes have been reported in 50% to 60% of patients administered tretinoin. These abnormalities are usually reversible, however, patients with hepatic impairment may be at increased risk of hepatotoxicity associated with tretinoin. Clinical monitoring of hepatic function is necessary and consideration should be given to withholding tretinoin therapy if enzyme levels reach 5 times the upper limit of normal values.
