Sotret 10mg Capsule

Sotret 10mg Capsule

Sotret 10mg Capsule is an Isotretinoin based medicine marketed by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, used for the treatment of severe nodular acne that has not responded to other acne treatments, including antibiotics. Isotretinoin belongs to a class of medicines called retinoids, derived from Vitamin A. It works by reducing the amount of oil released by oil glands in the skin, helping the skin renew itself more quickly, and reducing inflammation associated with severe acne. Sotret is meant for short courses of treatment and often produces long-lasting improvement even after the course is completed. This is a prescription-only Schedule H medicine and must be taken strictly under the supervision of a dermatologist, as it carries important precautions, particularly for women who are or may become pregnant.
