Overview Tretz 20 Capsule

Isotretinoin 20mg 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, ideally at the same time daily, to ensure consistent intake. Symptom improvement may take several weeks; continued use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after several weeks. Common side effects, including dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes, are usually mild and transient, but persistent or bothersome effects warrant medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure and protect your skin. Skin fragility may occur, necessitating avoidance of waxing or laser treatments. Expect potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes; hydration and moisturization are recommended. This medication is teratogenic; consult your doctor immediately if you are pregnant or considering pregnancy.
