Isotretinoin (30mg)

Overview Tretiva 30 Capsule

Isotretinoin 30mg capsules, a retinoid (vitamin A-derived medication), are indicated for treating recalcitrant acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and duration should strictly adhere to your physician's instructions. Administer with food, consistently at the same time daily to ensure adherence. While symptom improvement may take several weeks, continuous use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after several weeks of treatment. Common side effects, such as dry skin, skin eruptions, and elevated liver enzymes, are typically mild and transient; however, persistent or bothersome effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun protection measures. Skin fragility may occur, precluding waxing or laser treatments during therapy. Potential dryness of the mucous membranes (mouth, lips, eyes) necessitates increased hydration and moisturizer use. Due to the teratogenic potential of this medication, preconception and pregnancy counseling is essential.
