## What is Acutret 30

Acutret 30 Capsule is a prescription medicine used for severe Acne that has not improved with standard treatments. It contains FDA-approved Isotretinoin (30 mg), a Vitamin A derivative from the oral Retinoid class. IPCA Laboratories Ltd. manufactures Isotretinoin 30 mg capsule in its GMP-compliant manufacturing plants.

Isotretinoin works by reducing excess sebum production, shrinking oil glands, lowering inflammation, and reducing acne-causing bacterial growth. Primary Acutret 30 Capsule uses include treatment of severe Acne, particularly Nodular Acne.

Take Acutret 30 exactly as prescribed, preferably with food, at the same time each day. The dose will depend on severity, body weight, response to treatment, and side effects. Generally, the treatment course can last 15 to 20 weeks. For a missed dose, take it as soon as possible, but skip if it’s time for your next dose. Seek emergency care for overdosing to prevent any adverse effects.

Acutret 30 Capsule side effects include hair thinning, skin peeling, dry eyes, dry nose, dry skin and lips, and muscle aches. These effects are short-lived and mild. Talk to a dermatologist if they persist longer. Precautions include avoiding use along with vitamin A supplements, Tetracycline, and excessive alcohol. Do not get waxed, opt for laser treatment, and do not get exposed to excessive sunlight during the treatment. Also, get your blood lipids and liver enzymes regularly monitored during treatment.
