Frequently asked questions

What is Isotretinoin Orifarm used for?+
Isotretinoin Orifarm is prescribed for the treatment of severe recalcitrant nodular acne, including cystic forms, in patients who have not responded adequately to standard topical or oral therapies.
How does isotretinoin work in the body?+
Isotretinoin binds to retinoic acid receptors in the nucleus of skin cells, altering gene expression to shrink sebaceous glands, lower sebum output, normalize follicular keratinization, and reduce inflammation, which together diminish acne lesion formation.
What is the usual dose of isotretinoin?+
The specific dose of isotretinoin is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s weight, severity of acne, and tolerance. Dosage regimens are individualized and should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is isotretinoin safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Isotretinoin is classified as Pregnancy Category X and is contraindicated in pregnancy due to a high risk of severe birth defects. It is also not recommended while breastfeeding because it can be excreted in milk and affect the infant.
