Overview Tretiva 20 Capsule

Isotretinoin 20mg capsules, a retinoid (vitamin A-derived medication), are prescribed for severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and treatment duration should strictly adhere to your physician's instructions. Administer with food, ideally at the same time daily, to ensure consistent intake. Symptom improvement may take weeks; consistent use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after several weeks. Common side effects, such as dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes, are usually mild and transient; however, persistent or bothersome effects necessitate medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility are possible; minimize sun exposure and avoid waxing or laser treatments. Dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes may occur; hydration and moisturization are recommended. Due to the risk of birth defects, pregnancy or pregnancy planning necessitates immediate consultation with your doctor.
