Acnetoin i 10 10 caps

Acnetoin i 10 from Leeford is an oral isotretinoin 10 mg capsule, a powerful retinoid used by skin specialists for severe or stubborn acne that has not responded to other treatments. The 10-capsule strip is a starter pack within a doctor-supervised course.

• Severe nodular or cystic acne
• Acne not responding to antibiotics
• Acne leaving scars
• Persistent adult acne (as advised)

Isotretinoin shrinks the oil glands in the skin and slows down how fast they make sebum. With less oil and slower skin cell build-up inside pores, acne bacteria have less to feed on and breakouts gradually settle.

Take as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken with a meal that has some fat in it for better absorption.

• Dry lips, skin and eyes
• Nosebleeds from a dry nose
• Muscle or joint aches
• Sun sensitivity

This medicine causes serious birth defects, so women who can become pregnant must use reliable contraception before, during and for at least a month after the course, and have pregnancy tests as advised. Avoid alcohol, vitamin A supplements and waxing or laser treatments during the course. Tell your doctor about any mood changes, severe headache or vision problems.

Keep the strip in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and out of reach of children.
