Salt Composition

Isotretinoin (10mg)

Overview Ista 10 Capsule

Isotretinoin 10mg capsules are a retinoid medication (derived from vitamin A). Prescribed for severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies, dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Consume with food, ideally at the same time daily for consistent efficacy. Symptom improvement may take weeks; consistent use is crucial. Consult your doctor if no progress is observed after several weeks. Common side effects, such as dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes, are usually mild and transient, but persistent or bothersome effects require medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility necessitate sun avoidance and the postponement of procedures like waxing or laser treatments. Expect potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes; adequate hydration and moisturization are recommended. Due to the risk of birth defects, pregnancy or pregnancy planning requires immediate medical consultation.
