Actoid 10 Capsule

Product Introduction
Actoid 10 Capsule is a medication that works similarly to vitamin A and plays a key role in maintaining the normal development of skin cells. It is primarily prescribed for managing psoriasis, a condition where skin cells grow too quickly. This medicine helps by slowing down the excessive production and thickening of the skin.

It should be taken along with food, strictly following the dosage and duration recommended by your healthcare provider. The exact dose will depend on your medical condition and how well you respond to the treatment. Stopping the medicine too soon can lead to the return of symptoms and worsening of the condition, so it’s important to continue until advised otherwise. Always inform your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you are taking to avoid possible interactions.

Some common side effects include dry lips, dry mouth, skin flaking, itching, joint pain, hair thinning, runny nose, nosebleeds, and higher levels of fats in the blood. These side effects are usually temporary and tend to improve with time. However, if any of them become bothersome, you should seek medical advice immediately. The medicine can also cause dizziness or drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Alcohol should be avoided as it can increase dizziness and other side effects.

It’s advisable to stay protected from direct sunlight by wearing protective clothing or using sunscreen. Regular blood tests may be recommended by your doctor to monitor liver health and cholesterol levels during the treatment. Patients with liver or kidney conditions should discuss their health history with their doctor before starting this medicine, as dose adjustments might be necessary. Women who are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding should avoid using Actoid 10 Capsule, as it can cause serious harm to the baby.
