Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Isotretinoïne Sun used to treat?+
Isotretinoïne Sun is prescribed for severe nodular acne, cystic acne, and acne vulgaris that has not responded to other systemic or topical therapies. It targets both inflammatory and non‑inflammatory lesions to achieve clearer skin and reduce scarring risk.
How does isotretinoin work in the body?+
Isotretinoin binds to retinoic acid receptors in the nucleus of skin cells, altering gene expression. This leads to smaller sebaceous glands, reduced sebum production, normalized follicular keratinization, and anti‑inflammatory effects, creating an environment less favorable for acne development.
What is the usual dose of Isotretinoïne Sun?+
The dosage of Isotretinoïne Sun is individualized by the prescribing clinician based on the severity of acne, patient weight, and tolerance. The prescriber determines the appropriate daily amount and treatment duration, which typically ranges from several weeks to months.
Is Isotretinoïne Sun safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Isotretinoïne Sun is classified as pregnancy category X because it is highly teratogenic. It must not be used by pregnant individuals, and effective contraception is required before, during, and after therapy. Use during breastfeeding is also contraindicated due to potential harm to the infant.
