Overview Isovac 20mg Capsule

Retinoid-based Isovac 20mg capsules treat severe acne unresponsive to prior therapies. Dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Administer with food, ideally at the same time daily for consistent absorption. Symptom improvement may take several weeks; continued use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after this period. Dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes are common, usually transient side effects. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility necessitate sun avoidance and cessation of procedures like waxing or laser treatments. Expect potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes; hydration and moisturizers are recommended. This medication carries a risk of birth defects; pregnant or planning pregnancy requires immediate physician consultation.
