Overview Zitan 10mg Capsule

Retinoid-based acne medication, Zitan 10mg Capsules (a vitamin A derivative), targets severe acne unresponsive to prior therapies. Dosage and treatment duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Administer with food, ideally at the same time daily for consistent absorption. While symptom improvement may take weeks, consistent use is crucial for optimal results. Consult your doctor if no progress is observed after several weeks. Dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes are common, usually transient side effects. Persistent or bothersome side effects require medical attention. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility necessitate sun protection and avoidance of procedures like waxing or laser treatments. Expect potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes; hydration and moisturizers are recommended. Due to its potential teratogenic effects, pregnant women or those planning pregnancy must consult their doctor before use.
