ISOTRETINOIN 10MG DESCRIPTION

ISOTRETINOIN belongs to a class of drugs called retinoids (a synthetic form of vitamin A) primarily used to treat a severe form of acne known as nodular acne that cannot be cleared by any other treatments, including antibiotics. Nodular acne is severe acne that occurs due to excessive production of oil in the skin cells, causing swollen, red and tender lumps in the skin. Acne nodules are larger in size than typical pimples.

ISOTRETINOIN contains ‘isotretinoin’, a form of vitamin A that works by reducing sebum (skin’s natural oil) production on the skin’s surface by decreasing the activity and size of sebaceous glands. Thereby unblocks pores and kills acne-causing bacteria.

Take ISOTRETINOIN as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you need to take ISOTRETINOIN based on your medical condition. Some people may experience chapped lips, dryness of skin, eyes, nose, or lips. Most of these side effects of ISOTRETINOIN do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to ISOTRETINOIN or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Do not take ISOTRETINOIN if you are pregnant or breastfeeding as it may cause adverse effects on the baby. If you have depression or any suicidal thoughts while taking ISOTRETINOIN or after stopping treatment with ISOTRETINOIN, please consult a doctor. Avoid sun exposure while using ISOTRETINOIN as it may make the skin more sensitive to sunlight and cause sunburn. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen while going out to protect your skin from sunburn.
