Tretiva 5 Capsule

Product Introduction
Tretiva 5 Capsule is a medication that falls under the category of retinoids, which are derivatives of vitamin A. It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of severe acne that has not improved with other conventional treatments.

This medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, ideally with food, and preferably at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in the body. It may take a few weeks before you begin to notice visible improvements, so it’s important to continue using it regularly. If there is no improvement after several weeks, consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Some commonly observed side effects include dryness of the skin, rash, and elevated liver enzyme levels. These side effects are usually temporary and tend to subside as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or become troublesome, seek medical advice.

During treatment, your skin may become more sensitive to sunlight, so it’s important to limit sun exposure and use protective measures. Avoid hair removal methods like waxing and procedures such as laser treatments while on this medicine, as your skin may become fragile. Dryness of the lips, mouth, and eyes is also common, so staying hydrated and using moisturizers or lubricating eye drops can help. This medicine is not safe during pregnancy because it may cause serious harm to the unborn baby. Always consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive.

Uses of Tretiva Capsule
Primarily used for managing and treating acne.

Benefits of Tretiva Capsule
Tretiva 5 Capsule helps manage acne by reducing the production of sebum, an oily substance responsible for clogged pores and breakouts. By controlling sebum levels, it not only clears up existing acne but also prevents new pimples from forming. You might notice your acne worsening initially before it starts to improve, which is normal. Continued and proper use will lead to clearer skin, improving both appearance and self-confidence.

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary, disappearing once the body adapts to the treatment. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, medical advice should be sought.

Commonly reported side effects include:

• Increased liver enzyme levels
• Skin dryness
• Rash

How to Use
Take the capsule exactly as advised by your doctor. Always consume it with food for better absorption.

How It Works
This medicine is a vitamin A derivative that works by targeting the sebaceous glands to reduce the production of excess oil (sebum). By limiting sebum production, it controls the growth of acne-causing bacteria and helps reduce inflammation, leading to improved skin condition.
