Overview Sotret NF 16mg Capsule

Isotretinoin 16mg capsules, a retinoid (vitamin A derivative), are prescribed for severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and treatment duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Ingestion with food, ideally at the same time daily, minimizes missed doses. Symptom improvement may take several weeks; consistent use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after a few weeks. Common, usually transient, side effects include dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes. Persistent or bothersome side effects require medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun protection; skin fragility warrants avoidance of waxing and laser treatments. Mouth, lip, and eye dryness are possible; hydration and moisturization are recommended. This medication carries a risk of birth defects; pregnancy or pregnancy planning necessitates immediate physician consultation.
