Overview Smartret 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 follow your physician's instructions. Administer with food, ideally at the same time daily for consistent absorption. Symptom improvement may take weeks; consistent use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after several weeks. Common side effects—dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes—are usually mild and transient. However, persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure and protect your skin. Skin fragility may also occur, necessitating avoidance of waxing or laser treatments. Dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes may develop; hydration and moisturization are recommended. This medication carries a risk of birth defects; pregnant or planning pregnancy, consult your doctor immediately.
