Description
Acnetoin-I 10 Capsule is a medicine used to treat severe acne, especially when other treatments such as antibiotics have not worked. It contains isotretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A, which helps reduce oil production in the skin and prevents acne from worsening. This medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, in the recommended doses and for the full duration.
Acne is a common skin problem that can affect self-confidence and daily life. Along with taking Acnetoin-I 10 Capsule, practicing good skin hygiene is important. Gently clean your face with a mild soap or facewash, avoid scrubbing too hard, and limit the use of oily or greasy cosmetics. Do not pick, rub, or squeeze pimples, as this can spread bacteria and cause scarring.
It may take a few weeks or months before you notice significant improvement, so patience is important. Do not use more than the prescribed amount, as it will not speed up results and may increase the risk of side effects. Regular follow-ups with your doctor may be necessary to monitor your progress and adjust the dose if needed.
Before starting Acnetoin-I 10 Capsule, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, as this medicine can harm an unborn baby. Share your full medical history, including any liver, kidney, or mental health conditions, and tell your doctor about all other medicines or supplements you are taking. This ensures safe and effective treatment for your acne.
