Isotretinoin
Description:
Sotret 10mg Capsule contains isotretinoin, a retinoid medication primarily used to treat severe nodular acne that has not responded to other treatments, including antibiotics. Isotretinoin works by reducing the size and oil production of the sebaceous glands, inhibiting the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), and reducing inflammation. It is a potent and effective treatment for severe acne but also has significant potential side effects, requiring strict medical supervision.
Sotret 10mg is taken orally, usually once or twice daily with food to enhance absorption. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the patient’s weight and the severity of their acne.
A typical course of treatment lasts for several months. Common side effects include dry skin, dry eyes, dry mouth, chapped lips, and increased sensitivity to sunlight. More serious side effects can include birth defects (isotretinoin is teratogenic and absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy), elevated liver enzymes, increased triglycerides and cholesterol levels, and mood changes, including depression and suicidal thoughts.
