Acnetoin 20 MG Description
Acnetoin Capsule is a medication that contains isotretinoin as an active ingredient. It is used to treat severe forms of acne that are not responsive to other therapies, such as antibiotic therapies. Isotretinoin is a derivative of vitamin A. It is important to take the medication as suggested by your doctor and follow the prescribed dosage and duration. Acne is a common skin problem, and it is important to maintain basic skin hygiene to reduce its spread. This includes gently cleaning the face with a mild soap or face wash, avoiding the use of oil-based or greasy cosmetics, and refraining from rubbing, scratching, or squeezing pimples. Before using Acnetoin Capsule, be sure to inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to have a baby or breastfeeding. You should also provide your doctor with your detailed medical history.
