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 decreases the production of the skin’s natural oil (sebum).
Acnegen is indicated for the treatment of severe, disfiguring nodular acne and should be used only after other treatments have been attempted without success.
If you can conceive, it is crucial that you read, comprehend, and adhere to the pregnancy warnings related to Acnegen.
After a medication is approved for a specific use, real-world experience may indicate its effectiveness for additional medical issues. While these alternative uses may not be specified in the product labeling, Acnegen is also utilized in certain patients with the following conditions:
Folliculitis, gram-negative (a bacterial infection on the facial skin starting near the nose).
Hidradenitis suppurativa (issues related to sweat glands).
Rosacea (a facial skin condition characterized by redness, commonly affecting the nose and cheeks).
Thick or patchy skin disorders, such as keratosis follicularis, palmoplantar keratoderma, lamellar ichthyosis, or pityriasis rubra pilaris.
The dosage of a medication is not uniform for all conditions; it varies based on the specific condition and the patient’s age.
Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction to Acnegen, such as hives, difficulty in breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
