Acutret 5 Capsule (Isotretinoin 5mg)

Acutret 5 Capsule 10’s belongs to a class of drugs called retinoids (man-made vitamin A) primarily used to treat a severe form of acne known as nodular acne that cannot be cleared by any other treatments, including antibiotics. Nodular acne is severe acne and occurs due to excessive production of oil in the skin cells, causing swollen, red and tender lumps in the skin. Acne nodules are larger in size than typical pimples.

Acne occurs due to overactive sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin. The sebum inhibits sebaceous glands and stops oil from flowing out freely, causing accumulation of sebum under the skin which increases the growth of acne-causing bacteria. Acutret 5 Capsule 10’s is a form of vitamin A that works by reducing sebum (skin’s natural oil) production cells in the skin’s surface by decreasing the activity and size of sebaceous glands. Thereby unblocks pores and kills acne-causing bacteria. Besides this, Acutret 5 Capsule 10’s may be prescribed for other skin problems and certain kinds of cancer.

Acutret 5 Capsule 10’s is available in both topical and oral dosage form. The oral form of Acutret 5 Capsule 10’s should be taken as prescribed by your doctor.
