Accutane [Isotretinoin] Description
Isotretinoin is a retinoid [a derivative of Vitamin A], useful in treating severe acne. It reduces the amount of sebum secreted by the skin's oil glands. It's also considered to work similarly as other retinoids and decrease the production of keratin [a protein], which causes a build-up of cells in the skin's hair follicles that is a factor leading to acne.
Uses of Accutane
This medicine, in tablets and gel, is used to treat moderate to severe acne, particularly when other methods of treating acne fail to yield results. For use in children, consult the pediatrician.

How to Use Accutane
Take the dose exactly as prescribed. It's an oral medicine, usually taken twice daily. The capsule should be swallowed quickly with a glassful of water to avoid irritating the throat. Taking the medicine with food is essential for better absorption.
Missed Dose of Accutane
Consult your doctor if you miss a dose. If you do miss a dose, then try to take the missed dose as soon as you can, but if time is nearing for the next dose, then leave the missed dose and take the regular one; don't double your dose.
