Isotretinoin 20mg softgels are retinoids (vitamin A-derived) 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, to ensure consistent intake. Significant improvement may take weeks; continued regular use is crucial. Consult your doctor if no progress is observed after several weeks. Common, usually temporary side effects include dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes. Report persistent or bothersome side effects. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun protection. Skin fragility may occur, contraindicating waxing or laser treatments. Dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes may require increased hydration and moisturizer use.
