Overview I Acne 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, 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. 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 avoiding waxing, laser treatments, etc. Expect potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes; hydration and moisturization are recommended. Isotretinoin is teratogenic; pregnancy or pregnancy planning requires immediate physician consultation.
