Overview Tretin-Iso 20 Capsule

Iso-Tretinoin 20mg capsules are retinoids (vitamin A-derived medications) indicated for treating recalcitrant acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and treatment length should strictly adhere to your physician's instructions. Administer with food, ideally at the same time daily for consistent absorption. Symptom improvement may require several weeks; continued regular use is crucial for optimal outcomes. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after this period. Common, generally mild and transient side effects include dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure. Skin fragility may occur, necessitating avoidance of waxing or laser treatments. Dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes may develop; hydration and moisturization are recommended.
