Acnegen pills contain Isotretinoin as the active ingredient. Isotretinoin is part of a class of medications known as retinoids, which are derived from vitamin A. When taken orally, Isotretinoin helps to decrease the production of natural skin oil (sebum).
Acnegen is indicated for the treatment of severe and disfiguring nodular acne and should only be used after other acne treatments have been attempted without success.
If you are capable of becoming pregnant, it is crucial that you read, comprehend, and adhere to the pregnancy precautions associated with Acnegen.
After a medication is approved for a specific use, further experience may reveal its efficacy for other health issues. Although these additional uses might not be listed on the product label, Acnegen is sometimes utilized for certain patients with the following conditions:
Folliculitis (a bacterial infection of the skin on the face starting near the nose).
Hidradenitis suppurativa (a condition affecting the sweat glands).
Rosacea (a facial skin disorder characterized by redness, typically affecting the nose and cheeks).
Thickened or patchy skin conditions, including keratosis follicularis, palmoplantar keratoderma, lamellar ichthyosis, or pityriasis rubra pilaris.
The dosage of this medication is not standardized for all conditions and varies depending on the specific condition or disease. It also depends on the patient’s age.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction to Acnegen, including hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
