The main active component in Zoretanin pills is Isotretinoin. Zoretanin functions by decreasing the production of oily substances (sebum) from the skin glands. The capsules also help minimize bacteria, reduce inflammation, and clear blocked pores. Zoretanin is prescribed for treating severe nodular acne, typically after other acne treatments or antibiotics have not effectively alleviated the symptoms.
Zoretanin is a variant of vitamin A. It may also be utilized for treating other skin conditions as identified by your healthcare provider, including: folliculitis, gram-negative infections (a bacterial infection of the skin around the nose); hidradenitis suppurativa (a sweat gland disorder); rosacea (a facial skin condition characterized by redness, particularly on the nose and cheeks); and other thickened or patchy skin disorders such as keratosis follicularis, palmoplantar keratoderma, lamellar ichthyosis, or pityriasis rubra pilaris.
Individuals taking Zoretanin might experience various side effects, including: allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, or hives; swelling of the face, lips, or tongue; breathing difficulties; alterations in the menstrual cycle; vision changes such as blurred or double vision, or reduced night vision; chest discomfort; mood changes like depression; dizziness; fainting; hearing issues or tinnitus; hives; and skin rash.
