The primary component found in Zoretanin capsules is Isotretinoin. Zoretanin functions by reducing the production of oily substances (sebum) produced by your skin's glands. These capsules also help decrease bacteria, alleviate inflammation, and clear clogged pores. Zoretanin is indicated for the treatment of severe nodular acne and is typically prescribed when other acne medications or antibiotics have failed to adequately manage the symptoms.
Zoretanin is a type of vitamin A. Additionally, it may be utilized to treat other skin conditions as advised by your physician, which may include folliculitis, gram-negative infections (skin infections on the face starting near the nose), hidradenitis suppurativa (issues with sweat glands), rosacea (a facial skin condition characterized by redness, especially on the nose and cheeks), and various thickened or patchy skin disorders such as keratosis follicularis, palmoplantar keratoderma, lamellar ichthyosis, or pityriasis rubra pilaris.
Patients using Zoretanin might experience adverse side effects, including: allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, or hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, difficulty breathing, alterations in the menstrual cycle, visual changes (such as blurred or double vision or reduced night vision), chest pain, feelings of depression, dizziness, fainting, hearing impairment, or tinnitus, along with hives and skin rash.
