Overview Tretiva 40 Capsule

Isotretinoin 40mg capsules, a retinoid (vitamin A-derived medication), are indicated 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, to ensure consistent intake. Significant improvement may require several weeks; continued use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no progress is observed after this period. Dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes are common, typically resolving with continued use; 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 moisturization are recommended. Due to the risk of birth defects, inform your doctor about current or planned pregnancies.
