Overview Tretiva 5 Capsule

Isotretinoin 5mg capsules, a retinoid (vitamin A derivative), treat severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Administer with food, consistently at the same time daily, to prevent missed doses. 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—dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes—are typically mild and transient. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun protection. Skin fragility mandates avoidance of waxing, laser treatments, etc. Expect potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes; hydration and moisturizers are recommended.
