Isotretinoin, an ingredient of Reticap, is a member of the Retinoids class of medications. It is used to treat severe forms of acne in adults and kids (who are older than 12) that have not improved after receiving other anti-acne medications, including nodular acne, conglobate acne, and acne that may leave permanent scars. Acne is an inflammatory skin ailment that causes sores, greasy skin, nodular lesions, and other symptoms on the chest, back, and face.
Your doctor may do specific blood tests and pregnancy tests while you are receiving Reticap therapy, and a skin doctor will be watching after you. You will be told to cut back on your vigorous physical activities. Use a high-protection factor sunscreen before going outside in the sun. (SPF 15 or higher).
Caution is advised when consuming alcohol with Reticap 10. Please consult your doctor.

Reticap 10mg Capsule is a derivative of vitamin A. It acts on glands (sebaceous) to reduce the production of a natural substance (sebum) that causes acne. Also, the controlled sebum production kills acne-causing bacteria. It also works as an anti-inflammatory to decrease inflammation (redness and swelling).
Isotretinoin is used to treat severe acne (such as nodular or conglobate acne, or acne that is at risk of scarring) that has failed to respond to adequate courses of systemic antibacterials and topical therapy.
Isotretinoin exerts its effects by altering cell cycle progression, cell differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. These actions reduce sebum production, preventing the clogging of pores and the growth of acne-causing bacteria. Isotretinoin and 4oxoisotretinoin both significantly reduce sebum production. Isotretinoin has little or no affinity for retinol-binding proteins (RBPs) and nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs). Tretinoin and 4oxotretinoin bind to the RARγ receptor, which is thought to be part of isotretinoin's anti-acne activity. Isotretinoin induces apoptosis in serum cells, resulting in decreased production of sebum. Isotretinoin also reduces acne formation by reducing hyperkeratosis through an unknown mechanism. Isotretinoin does not directly kill bacteria, but it does reduce the size of the sebaceous ducts and make the microenvironment less conducive to acne-causing bacteria. It can also increase the immune mechanism and alter the chemical regulation of monocytes to reduce inflammation.
Adults including adolescents and the Elderly:
Children:
Patients with intolerance:
Patients with severe renal insufficiency:
The capsules should be taken with food once or twice daily. Isotretinoin should only be prescribed by or under the supervision of physicians with expertise in the use of systemic retinoids for the treatment of severe acne and a full understanding of the risks of Isotretinoin therapy and monitoring requirements.
Additional adverse reactions with vitamin A or its derivatives. The effectiveness of the progesterone microdose is reduced (use 2 methods of contraception). The use of topical keratolytic agents or exfoliating anti-acne agents may increase the risk of local irritation. Oxidizing agents (such as benzoyl peroxide) can reduce the effectiveness of topical isotretinoin.
Isotretinoin is also contraindicated in patients with impaired liver function, high blood lipids, excessive vitamin A, and tetracycline treatment at the same time.
Isotretinoin is contraindicated in pregnant or lactating women. Unless all the conditions of the pregnancy prevention plan are met, isotretinoin is contraindicated in women of childbearing age. Patients allergic to isotretinoin or any excipient are also prohibited from using isotretinoin.
