Understanding Acne
When Should Oratane Treatment Be Considered?
Doctors may recommend different treatments depending on the severity of acne. These may include prescription cleansers, toners, topical or oral antibiotics, or Oratane.
The active ingredient in Oratane is isotretinoin, which is used in the treatment of acne. If your doctor considers that other treatments have not been sufficiently effective, or if there is a risk of scarring, Oratane may be prescribed depending on your individual condition.
Oratane helps reduce sebum production within the pores, which may in turn reduce the build-up of impurities and lower the likelihood of acne formation. Clinical evidence has shown that Oratane can be highly effective in the treatment of acne. Common side effects may include dry skin, dry lips and dry eyes. These dryness symptoms are commonly associated with isotretinoin treatment.
Oratane contains isotretinoin. If you are a woman of childbearing potential, pregnancy testing and the use of reliable contraception are required before starting treatment.
If you are struggling with acne, there are treatment options available. Please consult your doctor as soon as possible for professional advice.
