WHAT DOES ISOTRETINOIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

isotretinoin

Isotretinoin

Isotretinoin, INN, /ˌaɪsoʊtrɨˈtɪnoʊ.ɨn/, first marketed as Accutane by Hoffmann-La Roche, is a medication primarily used to treat cystic acne. Rarely, it is also used to prevent certain skin cancers, and can be used in the treatment of brain, pancreatic and other cancers. It is used to treat harlequin-type ichthyosis, a usually lethal skin disease, and lamellar ichthyosis. It is a retinoid, meaning it is related to vitamin A, and is found in small quantities naturally in the body. Isotretinoin is primarily used as a treatment for severe acne. The most common adverse effects are a transient worsening of acne, dry lips, dry and fragile skin, and an increased susceptibility to sunburn. Uncommon and rare side effects include: muscle aches and pains, headaches. Isotretinoin is known to cause birth defects due to in utero exposure because of the molecule's close resemblance to retinoic acid, a natural vitamin A derivative which controls normal embryonic development. In the United States a special procedure is required to obtain the pharmaceutical. In most other countries a consent form is required which explains these risks.
