ZORETANIN - ACCUTANE - IZOTRETINOIN 20MG 30 SOFTGELS

Isotretinoin, also known by its brand names Accutane, Roaccutane, or Claravis, is a medication primarily used for the treatment of severe acne. It belongs to a class of drugs called retinoids, which are derivatives of vitamin A. Isotretinoin is a powerful medication that is usually prescribed when other acne treatments have been ineffective.

Isotretinoin works by reducing the production of sebum, the oily substance that can clog pores and contribute to acne formation. It also helps prevent the growth of acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation in the skin. By targeting multiple factors involved in acne development, isotretinoin can significantly improve severe acne and prevent scarring.

It is often taken orally in the form of capsules or tablets, usually for a course of several months. Common side effects of isotretinoin include dryness and peeling of the skin, dry eyes, dry lips, and increased sensitivity to sunlight. It can also cause temporary worsening of acne during the initial weeks of treatment.

Isotretinoin is known to have a number of potentially serious side effects, including birth defects if taken during pregnancy. Therefore, women of childbearing potential are usually required to use effective contraception methods and undergo regular pregnancy tests while taking isotretinoin. Other rare but serious side effects may include liver damage, depression, and increased blood lipid levels.
