Pharmacist Analysis
Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water is intended to help treat colicky infants and soothe gastrointestinal discomfort.
There is no 'standardized' gripe water formula, but generally, gripe water formulas contain a blend of herbal ingredients. Mommy's Bliss contains the following:
- Organic Fennel Seed
- Organic Ginger Root
- Purified Water
- Vegetable Glycerin
- Citrus Bioflavonoid Extract
- Citric Acid
- Sodium Bicarbonate
- Potassium Sorbate
- Natural Fennel Flavor
It is important to note that Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water contains sodium bicarbonate, which is commonly known as baking soda. It is a well-known acid neutralizer and likely plays a key role in relieving colic symptoms if excess acid is at least partially responsible for the symptoms being experienced.
While there is no interaction between Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water and the drug in question here, it is important to note that Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water does have some theoretical ones with other drugs simply based on the fact that two herbals in the product, ginger, and fennel, can affect the metabolism and/or effects of some substances.

Tretinoin Overview
-
Tretinoin is used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL; a type of cancer in which there are too many immature blood cells in the blood and bone marrow) in people who have not been helped by other types of chemotherapy or whose condition has improved but then worsened following treatment with other types of chemotherapy. Tretinoin is used to produce remission (a decrease or disappearance of signs and symptoms of cancer) of APL, but other medications must be used after treatment with tretinoin to prevent the cancer from returning. Tretinoin is in a class of medications called retinoids. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells by causing immature blood cells to develop into normal blood cells.
