Isotretinoin capsules are a potent oral medication derived from vitamin A, primarily prescribed for severe acne vulgaris that has not responded to other treatments. This retinoid reduces oil gland size and skin cell production to unclog pores and prevent new breakouts. However, due to risks like birth defects and liver issues, it demands strict supervision by dermatologists, with dosages typically segmented as below 12 mg and above 12 mg to suit patient needs.
