Dryness of the lips, mouth, and eyes is another potential side effect—stay hydrated and use moisturizers or lubricating eye drops as needed
Common side effects include dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes. While these are generally mild and tend to subside as your body adjusts to the medication, inform your doctor if they persist or cause discomfort.
ISOTANE 20MG CAPSULE is known to cause birth defects, so it should not be used during pregnancy or if you are planning to conceive. Always discuss your treatment plan with your doctor to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Benefits of ISOTANE 20MG CAPSULE for Acne:
ISOTANE 20MG CAPSULE is highly effective in managing severe acne conditions such as nodular acne, conglobate acne, and acne prone to permanent scarring. It works by reducing the production of excess oil (sebum) in the skin, unclogging pores, and decreasing inflammation, which helps to clear up existing acne and prevent new breakouts. This leads to smoother, healthier skin and reduces the risk of long-term scarring. Additionally, it targets the underlying causes of severe acne, making it a reliable choice for those who have not responded to other treatments. Always consult your doctor to ensure it is suitable for your condition.
How ISOTANE 20MG CAPSULE Works
ISOTANE 20MG CAPSULE work by targeting the root causes of severe acne. They reduce the production of excess oil (sebum) in the skin, which helps prevent pores from becoming clogged. This, in turn, reduces the growth of acne-causing bacteria and inflammation. Isotretinoin also promotes the turnover of skin cells, preventing the formation of new acne lesions. Together, these actions help clear up existing acne and reduce the chances of scarring, making it an effective treatment for stubborn or severe acne conditions.
