Isotretinoin 20mg is a powerful oral medication used for treating severe acne that has not responded to other treatments. Available at Dosepharmacy, Isotretinoin works by reducing the amount of oil produced by the sebaceous glands, preventing clogged pores and reducing inflammation. It is particularly effective for nodular or cystic acne, offering significant improvement and long-term results. However, this medication requires a prescription and careful monitoring due to potential side effects, such as dryness, sensitivity, and possible mood changes.
How to Take Isotretinoin 20mg
- Follow Your Prescription: Take Isotretinoin exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The dosage and duration depend on the severity of your acne and your body weight.
