ACCUFINE 5 (Isotretinoin (5mg))

ACCUFINE 5 contains isotretinoin, a medication primarily used to treat severe forms of acne, particularly nodular acne that has not responded well to other treatments. By supporting patients in their journey to clear skin, it can help improve both physical appearance and self-esteem over time.

Isotretinoin works by affecting the way the skin produces oil and by reducing inflammation. It helps to decrease the size and activity of the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for oil production, ultimately leading to fewer breakouts. Additionally, it promotes the renewal of skin cells, making the skin smoother and less prone to acne.

When using ACCUFINE 5, it is important to store the medication in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consistency is key for best results, so following the prescribed plan is essential. Always keep an open line of communication with your healthcare provider about any concerns or changes in your condition. It’s also important to consider precautions, such as avoiding sun exposure and discussing any other medications you may be taking.

Some common, mild side effects might include dryness of the lips, skin, or eyes, as well as possible temporary increases in sensitivity to sunlight. These effects usually subside as your body adjusts to the medication.
