Overview Cutret 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. Administer with food, ideally at the same time daily for consistent absorption. Symptom improvement may take weeks; continued regular use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after several weeks. Dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes are common, generally resolving with continued use, but warrant medical attention if persistent or bothersome. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun protection. Skin fragility necessitates avoiding waxing and laser treatments. Dry mouth, lips, and eyes are possible; hydration and moisturizers are recommended. This medication poses a risk of birth defects; pregnant or planning pregnancy necessitates immediate physician consultation.
