Acnetoin-I 10 Capsule

Acnetoin-I 10 Capsule

Acnetoin-I 10 Capsule is an Isotretinoin based medicine marketed by Leeford Healthcare Ltd, prescribed for the treatment of severe nodular acne that has failed to respond to other acne therapies, including oral antibiotics. Isotretinoin is a retinoid derived from Vitamin A that works by shrinking the sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin, reducing sebum production, normalising skin cell turnover and lowering the inflammation that drives severe acne breakouts. Supplied as soft gelatin capsules, Acnetoin-I is intended for a defined treatment course under dermatologist supervision and often delivers long-lasting clearance of acne even after the course is completed. As a Schedule H prescription drug, it must never be self-administered and carries strict precautions, especially for women of childbearing potential, given its well-documented risk of severe birth defects if taken during pregnancy.
