Overview Zitvin ISO 20mg Capsule

Isoretinoin 20mg capsules, a retinoid (vitamin A derivative), are indicated for severe acne unresponsive to alternative therapies. Dosage and duration should strictly follow your physician's instructions. Administer with food, ideally at the same time daily for consistent absorption. Significant improvement may take several weeks; continued regular use is crucial. Consult your doctor if no improvement is observed after this period. Dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes are common, usually transient side effects. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Increased sun sensitivity and skin fragility may occur, necessitating sun avoidance and the postponement of 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, pregnant or planning-to-conceive individuals should seek medical advice before use.
