Isotretinoin Aristo is used to treat severe forms of acne(such as nodular or conglobate acne, or acne with a risk of permanent scarring) in adult patients and adolescents over 12 years of age, but only after puberty. Isotretinoin Aristo is used when the symptoms of acne have not improved after treatment with other anti-acne medicines, including antibiotics and topical medicines. Isotretinoin treatment must be supervised by a dermatologist(a doctor specializing in skin diseases).

If you experience vision problems, the doctor may refer you to a specialist for advice and may recommend stopping Isotretinoin Aristo.

The doctor may refer you to a specialist to check for papilledema (swelling of the optic disc in the eye).

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

This will depend on how you feel while taking the medicine. For most patients, the dose is between 0.5 mg/kg/day and 1 mg/kg/day. If you feel that the effect of Isotretinoin Aristo is too strong or too weak, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. If you have severe kidney disease, your doctor will start treatment with a lower dose of Isotretinoin Aristo (such as 10 mg per day) and then increase it to the maximum tolerated dose. If you do not tolerate the recommended dose, your doctor may continue treatment with a lower dose, which will be associated with a longer treatment duration and a higher risk of relapse. The treatment cycle usually lasts for 16 to 24 weeks. For most patients, only one treatment cycle is necessary. Acne symptoms may improve for up to 8 weeks after stopping treatment. Therefore, you should not start another treatment cycle until this time has passed. In rare cases, acne symptoms may worsen during the first few weeks of treatment. Improvement should occur over time as treatment continues. After stopping treatment, return any unused capsules to the pharmacist. Only keep them if your doctor advises you to. Remember that the medicine has been prescribed specifically for you. Do not pass it on to others. It may harm them, even if their symptoms are the same as yours.
