Overview D Acne I 20 Capsule

Isotretinoin 20mg capsules, a retinoid (vitamin A derivative), are indicated for treating 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 for consistent efficacy. Symptom improvement may take several weeks; consistent use is crucial. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after several weeks of treatment. Common side effects, such as dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes, are generally mild and transient. However, report any persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor immediately. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure. Skin fragility may occur, necessitating avoidance of waxing or laser treatments. Dry mouth, lips, and eyes are also possible; hydration and moisturization are recommended. Due to the risk of birth defects, pregnant or planning-to-conceive individuals must consult their doctor before initiating treatment.
