✅ Description:
Isotretinoin works by influencing cell cycle progression, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis, which collectively reduce sebum production. This action helps prevent clogged pores and limits the proliferation of acne-causing bacteria. Both isotretinoin and its metabolite, 4-oxo-isotretinoin, significantly decrease sebum production. Isotretinoin exhibits minimal binding to retinol-binding proteins (RBPs) and retinoic acid nuclear receptors (RARs), while tretinoin and 4-oxo-tretinoin selectively bind to the RAR-γ receptor, which may contribute to its anti-acne properties. By inducing apoptosis in sebocytes, it further reduces sebum levels. It also minimizes comedone formation by reducing hyperkeratinization through an unknown mechanism. Although isotretinoin does not directly kill bacteria, it creates an environment less favorable for bacterial growth by shrinking sebum ducts. Additionally, it may enhance immune responses and alter monocyte chemotaxis to reduce inflammation.

- Overdose has not been reported with Retigel. However, accidental ingestion could lead to symptoms of hypervitaminosis A, including severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, irritability, and itching.
✔️ Side Effects of Retigel 0.05% Topical Gel

- Special care is needed when using products containing peeling agents (e.g., benzoyl peroxide) or abrasive cleansers.
✔️ Contraindications
Not suitable for patients with a known hypersensitivity to isotretinoin.
✔️ Pregnancy and Lactation
- Pregnancy Category B: Although systemic isotretinoin is linked to teratogenicity, percutaneous absorption from the gel is negligible. However, due to limited safety data, its use should be avoided during pregnancy.
- It is unclear if isotretinoin is excreted in human milk; therefore, it is not recommended during lactation.
