Overview Sebtret 20mg Capsule

Isotretinoin 20mg capsules, a retinoid (vitamin A-derived medication), are prescribed for severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and duration should strictly adhere to your physician's instructions. Administer the capsule with food, ideally at the same time daily for consistent absorption. Significant improvement may take weeks; continued use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after several weeks. Common side effects, such as dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes, are usually mild and transient. However, persistent or bothersome side effects require medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun protection. Skin fragility warrants avoidance of waxing or laser treatments. Dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes may occur; hydration and moisturization are recommended. Due to its potential teratogenic effects, pregnant or planning-to-conceive individuals must consult their doctor before use.
