Description
Afzanna 30mg Tablet is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Isotretinoin. Isotretinoin is a retinoid, a derivative of Vitamin A, that works by reducing the amount of oil produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. It also helps to decrease inflammation and prevent clogged pores, which are key factors in the development of acne. Afzanna is primarily indicated for the treatment of severe recalcitrant nodular acne that has not responded to other treatments, including oral antibiotics and topical therapies. It is also used for other skin conditions such as certain types of skin cancer and keratinization disorders. The typical dosage is one capsule daily, taken with food, but this can vary based on the patient’s weight and the severity of the condition. It is crucial to follow the doctor’s prescription precisely. Common side effects may include dryness of the lips, skin, and eyes, as well as increased sensitivity to sunlight. Less common but serious side effects can occur, and patients should consult their doctor immediately if they experience any unusual symptoms. Afzanna should be stored at room temperature, away from direct light and moisture.
