Isotretinoin is a potent oral medication used to treat severe acne that hasn't responded to other treatments. It works by reducing oil production in the skin, preventing clogged pores, and reducing inflammation. While highly effective, it has potential side effects, including dry skin, lips, and eyes, as well as mood changes and birth defects if taken during pregnancy. Due to these risks, it is typically prescribed under close medical supervision, with strict monitoring and contraception requirements for females of childbearing age.
