Acne is a skin condition characterized by inflammatory lesions, oily skin, and painful nodules, and can occur on the face, back, and chest.
During Akno 10mg Capsule treatment, your doctor may conduct blood tests and pregnancy tests, with your progress closely monitored by a dermatologist. You'll likely be advised to reduce strenuous exercise and physical activity. Sun protection is crucial, so use sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher when going outdoors.

Donating blood is discouraged during treatment and for at least one month after stopping the medication.

Isotretinoin is a synthetic retinoid that reduces sebaceous gland size and sebum production. It also regulates cell proliferation and differentiation.
Isotretinoin is prescribed to treat severe forms of acne, including nodular or conglobate acne, or acne that is at risk of causing permanent scarring, when other treatments like systemic antibacterials and topical therapies have not been effective.
Isotretinoin, a derivative of vitamin A, exerts its therapeutic effects in the treatment of acne through various mechanisms:
Adult Dose:
Child Dose:
Renal Dose:
Should be taken with food.
Pregnancy, lactation.
Pregnancy is an absolute contraindication for isotretinoin treatment. If, despite all precautions, you become pregnant during or within a month after isotretinoin treatment, there is a high risk of severe and serious fetal malformations. These malformations can affect various parts of the body, including the central nervous system, face, ears, eyes, heart, and more. The risk of miscarriage is also increased. If a woman undergoing isotretinoin treatment becomes pregnant, the treatment must be immediately discontinued, and the patient should seek advice and evaluation from a specialist in teratology. Isotretinoin is highly lipophilic, which means it can pass into breast milk. Because infants exposed to isotretinoin through breast milk may experience adverse reactions, nursing mothers should not take isotretinoin.
Keep below 30°C temperature, away from light & moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
