Retiso-20 Softgel Capsule 10's is used to treat a severe form of acne known as nodular acne that any other treatments, including antibiotics cannot clear. It contains Isotretinoin, a form of vitamin A, which works by reducing sebum (skin's natural oil) production on the skin's surface by decreasing the activity and size of sebaceous glands. Thereby, unblocks pores and kills acne-causing bacteria. Some people may experience chapped lips, dryness of skin, eyes, nose, or lips. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
