Medical Description

Isotrenol 20mg Capsule is a medicine used to treat severe acne, especially when other treatments like antibiotics have not worked. It contains isotretinoin, a form of vitamin A, which works by reducing the amount of oil produced by the skin, preventing clogged pores, and helping heal existing acne.

Take Isotrenol 20mg Capsule exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the dose and duration advised, and do not change or stop the medicine on your own, as this may affect the results or cause side effects. Regular follow-up with your doctor may be necessary during the treatment.

Along with the medicine, practicing good skin hygiene is important. Wash your face gently with a mild soap or facewash, avoid using oily or greasy cosmetics, and do not rub, scratch, or squeeze pimples, as this can worsen acne or cause scarring.

Before starting Isotrenol 20mg Capsule, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Also, share your complete medical history, including any liver problems, high cholesterol, or other medications you are taking, to ensure the medicine is safe for you.

It may take several weeks to notice improvement, so continue the treatment as directed. Avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen, as isotretinoin can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
