TRETIDERM Gel: Effective Acne Treatment with Isotretinoin

 Composition:

TRETIDERM Gel contains Isotretinoin at a concentration of 006% w/w

 Pharmacological Properties:

Isotretinoin, structurally related to Vitamin A, plays a key role in regulating epithelial cell growth and differentiation The exact mechanism of action of isotretinoin is still under investigation, but when used
systemically, it effectively suppresses sebaceous gland activity, reduces sebum production, combats Propionibacterium acnes, and alleviates inflammation In topical applications, it behaves similarly to tretinoin, stimulating epidermal mitosis, promoting desquamation, and preventing the formation of acne lesions Additionally, it helps to expel and prevent comedones by encouraging the production of less cohesive epidermal sebaceous cells

 Indications:

TRETIDERM Gel is recommended for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris It effectively targets both inflammatory and noninflammatory lesions

 Directions For Use:

therapeutic effects

 Use During Pregnancy and Lactation:

The safety of topically applied isotretinoin during human pregnancy remains inadequately studied Systemic use of isotretinoin has shown teratogenic effects in humans, making it inadvisable for use during pregnancy Although percutaneous absorption of isotretinoin from TRETIDERM Gel is minimal, there’s uncertainty regarding its excretion during lactation, so its use should be avoided while nursing
