Overview Acnova 20mg Capsule

Isotretinoin 20mg capsules, a retinoid (vitamin A-derived) medication, are prescribed for severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and duration should strictly adhere to your physician's instructions. Consistent daily intake with food is recommended to ensure adherence. Symptom improvement may take several weeks; continued use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after this period. Dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes are common, usually transient side effects. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun protection. Skin fragility necessitates avoidance of waxing, laser treatments, and other potentially irritating procedures. Dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes is possible; hydration and moisturization are advised. Due to its teratogenic potential, pregnant or planning-to-conceive individuals must consult their doctor before use.
