Overview Isorec 20mg Capsule

Isoretinoin 20mg capsules are a retinoid medication (a vitamin A derivative) indicated 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 for consistent absorption. Symptom improvement may take weeks; continued use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no progress is observed after several weeks. Common side effects include dry skin, skin eruptions, and elevated liver enzymes; while typically mild and transient, persistent or bothersome effects necessitate medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure. Skin fragility may occur, necessitating avoidance of waxing or laser treatments. Dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes may also develop; hydration and moisturizers are recommended. This medication poses a teratogenic risk; consult your doctor immediately if you are pregnant or considering pregnancy.
