Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient In Isotretinoin Capsules

The active pharmaceutical ingredient contained in Isotretinoin Capsules is Isotretinoin

Uses Of Isotretinoin Capsules

Isotretinoin is used for treating severe acne in patients who do not respond to other medicines. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Isotretinoin Capsules – Dosage

Take Isotretinoin Capsules two times a day with a meal, unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Swallow the capsule. Don't suck or chew it. Take it with a full glass of water, milk, or other nonalcoholic liquid. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.

The recommended dosage for Isotretinoin Capsules is 0.5 to 1.0 mg/kg/day given in two divided doses with food for 15 to 20 weeks. Depending on your reaction to Isotretinoin, your doctor may need to adjust the dosage upward or downward. If you respond quickly and very well, your doctor may take you off Isotretinoin even before the 15 or 20 weeks are up.

After you finish taking Isotretinoin, there should be at least a 2-month "rest period" during which you are off the drug. This is because your acne may continue to get better even though you are no longer taking the medication. Once the 2 months are up, if your acne is still severe, your doctor may want to give you a second course of Isotretinoin. If you are still growing, your doctor may recommend a longer "rest period."

• Avoid consumption of alcoholic beverages.
• Read the patient information leaflet available with the product. Do not crush the capsules.
• Do not share Isotretinoin with anyone because of the risk of birth defects and other serious side effects

Drug Class and Mechanism

Isotretinoin is a retinoid. It works by reducing skin oil production, changing the characteristics of the skin oil, and preventing abnormal hardening of the skin.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Isotretinoin, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
