Overview Tretiva 25 Capsule

Isotretinoin 25mg capsules, a retinoid (vitamin A-derived medication), are prescribed for severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and treatment duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Administer with food, ideally at the same time daily for consistent absorption. Significant improvement may take several weeks; continued use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after several weeks of treatment. Dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes are common, usually mild and transient side effects. However, persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun protection; skin fragility may also occur, contraindicating waxing or laser treatments. Expect potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes; hydration and moisturizers are recommended. This medication poses a teratogenic risk; pregnant or planning pregnancy, consult your doctor immediately.
