Overview Isoin 20 Capsule

Retinoid-based Isoin 20 Capsules treat severe acne unresponsive to prior therapies. Dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions, taken with food consistently daily to ensure adherence. Significant improvement may take time; continued use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no progress is observed after several weeks. Common, typically transient side effects include dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility necessitate sun avoidance and postponement of procedures like waxing or laser treatments. Dryness of the mucous membranes may occur; hydration and moisturization are advised. Due to the potential for birth defects, pregnant or planning-to-conceive individuals must seek medical counsel before use.
