Overview Deriva I 20mg Tablet

Isotretinoin 20mg tablets, a retinoid (vitamin A derivative), 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, to ensure consistent intake. Significant improvement may take weeks; continued use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after several weeks. Common side effects, such as dry skin, rash, and elevated liver enzymes, are generally mild and transient. However, persistent or bothersome effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun protection; skin fragility may also occur, precluding procedures like waxing or laser treatments. Mouth, lip, and eye dryness are possible; hydration and moisturizers are recommended. Due to the potential for birth defects, inform your doctor about pregnancy or pregnancy plans.
