Roaccutane capsules are a medication used to treat severe acne that does not respond to other treatments. It contains isotretinoin, which helps reduce the secretion of oils from the sebaceous glands in the skin, which reduces the occurrence of pimples and acne and improves the overall appearance of the skin. It is used in cases where scarring is caused by severe acne. It also treats cases where a person suffers from cystic acne, which causes pain and swelling of the skin.
Roaccutane is used under the supervision of a doctor because it has some side effects that may require close monitoring, such as dry skin, eyes, and lips, as well as changes in cholesterol levels or liver function. Therefore, medical tests must be performed before starting treatment.
