TRETIVA 5MG CAPSULE contains Isotretinoin, a retinoid medication specifically designed to manage severe acne in adults and children over 12 years of age. It is particularly effective for nodular acne, conglobate acne, and acne prone to permanent scarring when other anti-acne treatments have failed. Acne is a skin condition characterized by inflammatory spots, oily skin, and painful nodular lesions that commonly affect the face, chest, and back.

Take TRETIVA 5MG CAPSULE exactly as prescribed by your doctor, following the recommended dose and duration. It is best taken with food, preferably at the same time each day, to reduce the chances of missing a dose. It may take a few weeks before you notice an improvement in your symptoms but continue taking the medication as directed to achieve optimal results. If your condition does not improve after several weeks, consult your doctor for further advice.

This medication can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so limit sun exposure and use sunscreen when outdoors. It may also make your skin more fragile, so avoid waxing or laser treatments during therapy. Dryness of the lips, mouth, and eyes is another potential side effect—stay hydrated and use moisturizers or lubricating eye drops as needed

Common side effects include dry skin, rashes, and elevated liver enzymes. While these are generally mild and tend to subside as your body adjusts to the medication, inform your doctor if they persist or cause discomfort.

TRETIVA 5MG CAPSULE is known to cause birth defects, so it should not be used during pregnancy or if you are planning to conceive. Always discuss your treatment plan with your doctor to ensure safety and effectiveness.
