TRETIVA 10 MG – 10 CAPSULES

TRETIVA 10 MG contains Isotretinoin, a retinoid that dramatically reduces oil secretion by shrinking the sebaceous glands in the skin. This action helps prevent severe acne outbreaks and promotes clearer skin. It is typically used for cases of nodular or cystic acne that have not improved with standard treatments. TRETIVA 10 MG can lead to long-term remission from acne, offering patients a solution to achieve clear skin. However, it must be taken under strict medical supervision due to its potential side effects.
