Tretiva-40 Capsule

Tretiva Capsule is a medicine used to treat severe acne that doesn’t respond to standard treatments such as creams or antibiotics. It contains isotretinoin, a powerful form of vitamin A that helps reduce oil production in the skin and prevents pores from clogging. Over time, it helps clear acne, reduce inflammation, and improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.

This medicine should only be taken under a doctor’s supervision, as isotretinoin is strong and requires careful dosing. Always take Tretiva exactly as prescribed, and do not share it with anyone else. The improvement may take several weeks to become noticeable, so continue the treatment regularly even if acne seems worse initially. This is normal during the early phase of therapy.

While taking Tretiva Capsule, it’s very important to maintain proper skincare habits. Wash your face gently with a mild cleanser twice a day, avoid oil-based cosmetics, and never pop or squeeze pimples, as that can worsen scarring and infection. Use a good moisturizer and lip balm regularly, as isotretinoin can make your skin and lips dry. Also, avoid excessive sun exposure and always use sunscreen when stepping outdoors.

Pregnant women or those planning to conceive must not take Tretiva, as isotretinoin can cause serious harm to an unborn baby. Women of childbearing age are usually advised to use reliable birth control before, during, and after treatment. If pregnancy occurs while taking this medication, inform your doctor immediately.

Before starting Tretiva Capsule, share your complete medical history with your doctor, including any liver problems, high cholesterol, or depression. Avoid alcohol during treatment and do not take vitamin A supplements, as they can increase the risk of side effects. Regular check-ups and blood tests may be needed to monitor your progress and ensure the medicine is safe and effective for your skin.
