Isotretinoin
Description:
Sotret 20mg Capsule contains a higher dose of isotretinoin compared to the 10mg capsule and is also used for the treatment of severe nodular acne. The 20mg strength may be prescribed for patients with more extensive or resistant acne, or for those with a higher body weight, as the dosage is often weight-based.
Like the 10mg formulation, isotretinoin in Sotret 20mg works by targeting the underlying causes of severe acne, including sebum production, follicular keratinization, and inflammation.
The administration and potential side effects of Sotret 20mg are similar to the 10mg capsule. It is taken orally with food, and the duration of treatment is determined by the dermatologist. Patients are at risk of the same side effects, which can be dose-dependent, and the same strict precautions regarding pregnancy and monitoring apply. Female patients must use effective contraception and undergo regular pregnancy testing. Monitoring of liver function and lipid levels is also essential.
The higher dose of isotretinoin in Sotret 20mg may lead to a more rapid or pronounced improvement in acne but could also potentially increase the risk or severity of certain side effects. Close communication with the prescribing dermatologist is crucial throughout the course of treatment.
