Overview Tretilan 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 with food, ideally at the same time daily for consistent efficacy. Symptom improvement may take weeks; consistent 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, but persistent or bothersome effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun protection; skin fragility may also occur, precluding waxing or laser treatments. Expect potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes; hydration and moisturization are recommended. Due to the risk of birth defects, pregnant or planning-to-conceive individuals must consult their doctor before use.
