Overview Tret 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. Consistent daily intake with food is recommended to maintain therapeutic levels. While improvement may take several weeks, uninterrupted use maximizes effectiveness. Consult your doctor if no progress is observed after this period. Dry skin, rash, and elevated liver enzymes are common, usually resolving with continued use; however, persistent or bothersome side effects require medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun avoidance, and skin fragility warrants caution against waxing or laser treatments. Expect potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes; hydration and moisturizers are helpful. Due to the risk of birth defects, pregnant women or those planning pregnancy must consult their doctor before starting this medication.
