Acutret 10 Capsule is a retinoid (vitamin A derivative) used to treat severe acne that has not responded to other treatments. It should be taken as prescribed by your doctor, preferably with food at the same time each day to avoid missing a dose. While it may take several weeks to show improvement, it is important to continue the treatment as directed.

Common side effects include dry skin, rash, and increased liver enzymes, which usually subside over time. If they persist or worsen, consult your doctor. This medication increases sensitivity to sunlight, so limit sun exposure and use sun protection. It can also make the skin more fragile, so avoid waxing or laser treatments. Additionally, it may cause dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes, so staying hydrated and using a moisturizer can help. As it may lead to birth defects, consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy.
