Overview Avinova 20mg Capsule

Retinoid acne medication, Avinox 20mg capsules (a vitamin A derivative), is prescribed for severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Administer with food, ideally at the same time daily, to ensure consistent intake. Symptom improvement may take weeks; continued use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after several weeks. Common, usually temporary, side effects include dry skin, rash, and elevated liver enzymes. Report persistent or bothersome effects to your doctor. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility are possible; minimize sun exposure and avoid waxing or laser treatments. Expect potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes; hydrate adequately and use moisturizer.
