About Saferet-5Mg Tab
Saferet-5Mg Tab belongs to a class of drugs called retinoids, primarily used to treat a severe form of acne known as nodular acne that has not responded to other treatments, including antibiotics.
Saferet-5Mg Tab contains 'isotretinoin', which works by stopping the sebaceous glands from producing too much sebum and slowing the production of certain natural substances that can cause acne.
In some cases, Saferet-5Mg Tab may cause side effects like dry skin, headache, cold symptoms, and vision problems. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
