CompositionTretin ISO 20 Capsule is used to treat severe nodular acne that has not responded to other treatments, including antibiotics. It belongs to the retinoid class of medicines and works by significantly reducing the size and activity of the skin's oil glands, helping prevent clogged pores and new acne lesions.
By lowering oil production and easing inflammation, this capsule helps clear deep, painful nodules and may reduce the risk of permanent scarring. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually with food, and continue for the full course advised, as this treatment may provide long-term improvement even after stopping.
Using a good moisturiser and lip balm regularly can help manage the dryness of the skin and lips commonly seen with this medicine. Avoid excessive sun exposure and use sun protection, as the skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight during treatment.
This medicine requires strict medical supervision. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant must not use it, as it can cause severe birth defects; effective contraception is mandatory during treatment. Tell your doctor about any history of depression or liver disease, and report any mood changes or persistent joint pain promptly.
