ACCUTANE (Isotretinoin 20mg)

Highly Effective Solution for Severe, Treatment-Resistant Acne

Isotretinoin 20 mg capsules are a clinically proven oral retinoid therapy prescribed for patients with severe nodular, cystic, or scarring acne that has not responded to conventional treatments such as topical therapies or systemic antibiotics.

This treatment is considered the gold standard for severe acne management, offering long-term improvement by addressing acne at its source.

How Isotretinoin Works

Isotretinoin is a vitamin A derivative (retinoid) that targets the underlying causes of severe acne by:

1. Significantly reducing sebum (oil) production
2. Shrinking overactive sebaceous glands
3. Decreasing inflammation
4. Preventing clogged pores and future breakouts
5. Reducing the risk of permanent acne scarring

By acting on multiple pathways involved in acne development, isotretinoin delivers results that are often long-lasting after a single treatment course.

Who Is This Treatment For?

Isotretinoin 20 mg may be prescribed for patients who:

1. Have severe or cystic acne
2. Experience acne that causes scarring or psychological distress
3. Have not achieved adequate results with other acne therapies
4. Require a structured, medically supervised acne solution
