Id like to know is that good or not?

Isotroin(Isotretinoin) is very good for bad acne
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ms XXXXX,
Thank your for posting your query.
From your query I understand that you have been having bad acne and have been prescribed Isotroin-20 for the same.
It is the drug of choice in treating extreme cases of acne (Pimples). So yes it is good for curing pimples, but what you should remember is, initially, that is when you start this medicine, you will have worsening of your pimples for 2 to 3 weeks then the pimples will go away.
The other important issue with this medicine is that, if you go out in sun after taking/applying this medicine you will get sun burns which can lead to skin darkening so do not go out into sun while you are using this medication.
And if you are pregnant or planning to conceive then you should not take this medicine so use any suitable method of birth control so that you don't become pregnant.
Other side effects include, dry skin, dry lips, headaches, body aches.
I sincerely hope I have addressed all your concerns. Please feel free to write back to me if you have any more questions.
Wishing you good health.
Warm regards.

Thank you for writing back.
Please use a soothing lip balm like Nivea lip balm, or vaseline lip balm. This will certainly help. And don't forget to drink plenty of water and fresh fruit juices.
