Tretiva 10 Capsule

Tretiva 10 Capsule

Tretiva 10 Capsule is an Isotretinoin based medicine marketed by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd, prescribed for the treatment of severe acne that has not responded to other acne treatments. Isotretinoin belongs to the retinoid class of medicines, derived from Vitamin A, and works by reducing the production of sebum (natural skin oil) that contributes to acne formation. By controlling sebum output, it also helps limit the growth of acne-causing bacteria and reduces the inflammation, redness and swelling associated with severe breakouts. Tretiva is taken as a defined treatment course under close dermatologist supervision and often produces clearer skin that lasts well beyond the completion of therapy. As a Schedule H prescription drug, it must never be taken without medical guidance, and carries important precautions, particularly for women who are or may become pregnant.
