Overview Sotop 20mg Capsule

Retinoid-based Sotop 20mg capsules treat severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions; consume with food, ideally at a consistent time daily to ensure adherence. Symptom improvement may take weeks; consistent use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after several weeks. Dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes are potential side effects, usually resolving with continued use, though persistent or bothersome effects necessitate medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility warrant sun avoidance and postponement of procedures like waxing or laser treatments. Expect potential dryness of mucous membranes; hydration and moisturization are recommended. Due to the risk of birth defects, inform your doctor about pregnancy or pregnancy plans before initiating treatment.
