Aknetret 10mg

Aknetret 10mg contains isotretinoin, a systemic retinoid related to vitamin A. It is primarily used for severe forms of acne, particularly acne that has not responded adequately to appropriate conventional treatments or carries a significant risk of permanent scarring.

Isotretinoin works by reducing sebaceous gland activity and sebum production while helping normalize processes involved in acne development. Because of its significant safety considerations, treatment requires appropriate medical supervision.
