ISOTRETINOIN 20MG TABLET
ISOTRETINOIN 20MG TABLET 10's is categorized as a retinoid medication, which is a synthetic derivative of vitamin A. It is primarily prescribed to address a severe variant of acne known as nodular acne, a condition that does not respond to conventional treatments, including antibiotics. Nodular acne is characterized by its severity, stemming from the excessive production of skin oil, resulting in inflamed, red, and painful nodules on the skin. These acne nodules are notably larger than typical pimples.
ISOTRETINOIN 20MG TABLET 10's is composed of 'isotretinoin,' which is a derivative of vitamin A. Its mechanism of action involves the reduction of sebum production on the skin's surface by diminishing the activity and size of sebaceous glands. This, in turn, helps to unclog pores and eliminate bacteria responsible for causing acne.
