Isotretinoin Sun (Isotretinoin)

Isotretinoin binds to nuclear retinoic acid receptors, altering gene expression that leads to shrinkage of sebaceous glands, decreased sebum output, and normalization of follicular keratinization. This reduces the environment that supports acne‑causing bacteria and prevents formation of comedones.

The dosage of isotretinoin is individualized by the prescribing physician based on the patient’s weight, severity of acne, and tolerance. The prescriber determines the total daily amount and treatment duration, typically ranging from several weeks to months.

Isotretinoin is classified as pregnancy category X and is absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy because of its high teratogenic potential. It is also not recommended while breastfeeding, as it can be excreted in milk and may harm the infant.

Compared with topical agents or oral antibiotics, isotretinoin offers a disease‑modifying effect by targeting the root causes of severe acne, often achieving long‑term remission after a finite course. However, it carries a higher risk of systemic side effects and requires careful monitoring, unlike milder therapies.

Store the product at temperatures below 25 °C, in its original container, protected from moisture and direct light. Do not refrigerate or freeze the tablets, and keep them out of reach of children.

Isotretinoin Sun is taken orally, usually with a meal to improve absorption. The capsule should be swallowed whole with water and not chewed or broken. Patients should follow the dosing schedule prescribed by their healthcare provider.

The most serious risks include teratogenicity, severe depression or suicidal thoughts, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, and significant liver or lipid abnormalities. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these symptoms develop.

Individuals who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or not using effective contraception should not use isotretinoin. It is also contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to retinoids, uncontrolled liver disease, or severe hyperlipidaemia without appropriate management.
