Usage & Safety

Health Queries

I have been prescribed Isotretinoin (20mg) for severe acne, but I have great difficulty in swallowing all food. 2 questions please: 1) Are the 10mg capsules smaller and therefore easier to swallow? or.... 2) Is it possible to empty the 20mg capsules into, say, yoghurt or something similar, to make it easier to swallow the capsule contents?

Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

Do not change your dose or the way you take isotretinoin on your own. The most important step is to discuss your swallowing difficulty with the doctor who prescribed it. They can guide you on the safest and most appropriate plan based on your individual needs and medical conditions. In some cases, they may advise switching to smaller 10 mg capsules, adjusting the dosing schedule, or suggesting safe techniques to help swallow the capsules. Never open or crush the capsules, as this can reduce effectiveness and cause irritation.

I have oral lesions that have spread in my mouth and outer lips. Despite multiple treatments, including Tretiva 10, I haven't found relief. What should I do?

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)

Lesions on the lips and mouth that persist Despite treatment, a dermatologist or oral medicine professional should be seen almost once since lichen planus, autoimmune diseases, infections, and drug responses are among the possible reasons. Give up self-medication, abstain from smoke and spicy foods, maintain good oral hygiene, and have a biopsy or specific testing to help determine the best course of action.
