Isotretinoin 40 mg is a powerful medication used to treat severe cystic acne, a type of acne that is characterized by deep, painful nodules and cysts. As a form of vitamin A, isotretinoin works by reducing the size of sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin, which decreases oil production and helps prevent clogged pores. This leads to a significant reduction in acne lesions and promotes clearer skin. Typically prescribed when other treatments have failed, isotretinoin can offer long-term remission for many patients. However, it requires close monitoring due to potential side effects, such as dryness and sensitivity, and should be used under strict medical supervision.
