Isotertinion (Accutane) Treatment For Acne

[myron fehr]

Isotretinoin is actually the generic term for Accutane. It is a
synthetic Vitamin A derivative that creates a potentially long lasting
change in the cells, lining the pore. This change allows cells to
slough off naturally with clumping and plugging the pore.
Using Accutane, the pores will not become plugged and hence oil can
flow freely to the skin surface. Also the amount of oil is reduced as
Accutane temporarily re-regulates the oil gland to produce less. And
the beauty of using Accutane is that, the benefit is long lasting and
in some cases, the benefits are permanent.
Accutane is the most important drug today in the arsenal of
medications that are used to treat severe and persistent nodular,
cystic acne. It has provided great improvement to the acne problem for
majority of the patient who use it since 1984. And about 60% of those
who used Accutane actually needed only one- course of treatment and
30% needed two- course of treatment for clear skin.
Although Accutane is a powerful medication, it also has its side
effect. It can cause your skin to be overly dry and chapped your lips.
Hence when taking Accutane, you need to monitor your condition....
