What is Accutane

Accutane, also containing isotretinoin, is prescribed for severe acne unresponsive to other treatments. It operates by reducing sebum production in the skin. While it can effectively manage acne, it is not a cure. To minimize side effects and ensure safe use, strictly adhere to your dermatologist's prescribed dosage and precautions. Women of childbearing potential must use two forms of contraception and participate in a pregnancy prevention program while taking Accutane. Routine check-ups with your dermatologist are essential to monitor progress and address any concerns. This summary offers a concise overview and may not encompass all available information about the product. It does not guarantee the product's safety, effectiveness, or suitability for your unique needs. For comprehensive information and personalized advice, consult your healthcare professional.
