Isotretinoin (20mg)
Active composition
Isotretinoin modulates gene expression in skin cells, reducing oil production and preventing clogged pores.
Medical applications
Isot 20 Capsule contains isotretinoin 20 mg, a retinoid derivative primarily indicated for the treatment of severe recalcitrant nodular acne that is unresponsive to conventional therapies, including systemic antibiotics. Isotretinoin acts by reducing sebaceous gland size and sebum production, inhibiting comedogenesis, and exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties, thereby addressing multiple pathogenic factors of acne. The capsule is intended for oral administration and should be prescribed under strict medical supervision due to its potent effects and potential adverse reactions. Common side effects include dryness of the skin and mucous membranes, cheilitis, and transient elevations in liver enzymes and lipid levels. Due to its teratogenic potential, isotretinoin is contraindicated in pregnancy and women of childbearing potential must adhere to rigorous contraceptive measures before, during, and after treatment. Regular monitoring of liver function tests, lipid profile, and complete blood counts is recommended throughout the therapy duration. Dosage should be individualized based on patient response and tolerability, typically initiated at 0.5 mg/kg/day and adjusted accordingly. Patients should be advised to avoid excessive sun exposure and use appropriate skin moisturizers. Isot 20 Capsule offers an effective option for severe acne management when used responsibly under professional guidance.
