Overview I Lax 20mg Capsule

Isotrex 20mg capsules are a retinoid (vitamin A-derived) medication indicated for treating severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies.

Symptom improvement may take several weeks; continued regular use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after several weeks of treatment. Common side effects, such as dry skin, rash, and elevated liver enzymes, are usually mild and transient. However, persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure and protect your skin. Skin fragility may also occur, necessitating avoidance of waxing, laser treatments, and other potentially irritating procedures. Dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes is possible; adequate hydration and moisturization are recommended. This medication carries a risk of birth defects; pregnant or planning pregnancy?
