BIOTRIP 10 mg and 20 mg

BIOTRIP contains Isotretinoin, a synthetic derivative of vitamin A, primarily used to treat severe acne that does not respond to other treatments such as antibiotics or topical therapies. Isotretinoin works by reducing the amount of oil (sebum) produced by the skin’s sebaceous glands, unclogging pores, controlling acne-causing bacteria, and reducing inflammation. By targeting multiple causes of acne, BIOTRIP helps improve skin appearance, prevent lesion formation, and reduce the risk of long-term scarring. Patients should note that isotretinoin works gradually, and visible improvement may take several weeks. Some individuals may notice a temporary worsening of acne during the first few weeks of treatment. Mild side effects like dry skin, chapped lips, dry eyes, nose dryness, or increased sensitivity to sunlight may occur, but these generally improve over time.

BIOTRIP 10 mg and 20 mg are indicated for the management of severe nodular or cystic acne that does not respond adequately to topical treatments or antibiotics. It is also used for acne causing significant inflammation or scarring. By reducing sebum production and inflammation, BIOTRIP promotes clearer skin, reduces lesion formation, and helps improve self-confidence and quality of life. This medication should only be used under medical supervision, with regular monitoring by your doctor, due to its potent effects.

The exact dose of BIOTRIP depends on body weight, severity of acne, and individual response. Typically, doctors prescribe BIOTRIP 10 mg as one capsule daily or in divided doses for adults and children above 12 years. For more severe cases, BIOTRIP 20 mg may be prescribed once daily or as advised. Capsules should be swallowed whole with water and may be taken with food to improve absorption. Do not crush, chew, or break the capsules. Elderly patients or those with liver issues may require dose adjustments.

Storage: Store BIOTRIP capsules in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Keep them out of reach of children.

Common Side Effects: Mild dryness of skin and lips, chapped lips, dry eyes, mild nosebleeds, skin irritation, or increased sensitivity to sunlight. If severe side effects such as mood changes, vision problems, persistent abdominal pain, or signs of liver issues occur, consult your doctor immediately.

Drug Warnings: BIOTRIP must not be used during pregnancy due to the risk of serious birth defects. Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception before, during, and after treatment. Patients with liver disease, high cholesterol or triglycerides, kidney issues, or a history of depression should use this medicine cautiously. Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is essential.

Drug–Drug Interactions: Isotretinoin may interact with tetracycline antibiotics, anticonvulsants (like phenytoin), vitamin A supplements, or other retinoids, as well as medications affecting liver function. Always inform your doctor of all prescription, over-the-counter medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are taking.

Drug–Food Interactions: Capsules are best taken with food for optimal absorption. Limit alcohol intake as it may increase the risk of liver problems or elevated cholesterol/triglyceride levels. Avoid excessive vitamin A from diet or supplements.

Drug–Disease Interactions: Patients with liver or kidney disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, hyperlipidemia, bone disorders, or mental health issues should take BIOTRIP with caution. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor liver function, lipid levels, and overall safety during treatment. Always discuss your full medical history with your doctor before starting therapy.
