GlossaryIsotretinoin (Roaccutane)

oral medication for severe acne unresponsive to other treatments

Isotretinoin, also known by brand names like Accutane, is a powerful oral medication primarily used to treat severe acne that hasn't responded to other treatments. It works by reducing the amount of oil released by oil glands in your skin, helping your skin renew itself more quickly. While highly effective, it can have significant side effects and is typically prescribed under strict medical supervision.
