CompositionTUFACNE 20 CAPSULE 10 is a medication used to treat severe nodular acne that has not responded to other treatments, including antibiotics. It belongs to the class of retinoids and works by significantly reducing the size and activity of the skin's oil glands (sebaceous glands). This helps prevent clogged pores and reduces the formation of new acne lesions.
By decreasing sebum production and reducing inflammation, the medication helps clear deep, painful nodules and may help reduce the risk of permanent scarring. Due to its strength, it is reserved for severe cases of acne. It may provide long-term remission in some patients, meaning the acne may not return even after the treatment is finished.
This medication requires strict medical supervision. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant must not use this medication, as it causes severe birth defects. Effective contraception is mandatory during treatment. Inform your doctor about any history of depression or liver disease. Common side effects include dry skin and lips, so use of a good moisturizer and lip balm is recommended.
