This medication is specifically intended for individuals suffering from severe acne that has not responded adequately to other treatment options. It is essential to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. It is recommended to take the capsule with food, preferably at the same time every day, to minimize the risk of missing a dose. Patients may notice gradual improvements in their symptoms, which may take several weeks, so it is crucial to maintain consistent use for optimal results. If there is no noticeable progress after a few weeks, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare professional for further evaluation. Commonly reported side effects include skin dryness, rash, and elevations in liver enzyme levels. While these effects are generally mild and tend to resolve as your body acclimates to the medication, it is important to communicate with your doctor if they become bothersome or do not subside. ISOTRENOL 10 Capsule can increase sensitivity to sunlight; therefore, minimizing sun exposure is recommended. Additionally, it may make your skin more delicate, so activities such as waxing or laser hair removal should be avoided during treatment. It can also lead to dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes, so staying well-hydrated and using moisturizers is advisable. Furthermore, this medication has the potential to cause birth defects, so it is crucial to discuss any plans for pregnancy or current pregnancy with your healthcare provider.
