You should not resume Sotret 20 mg Capsule (isotretinoin) and Revize Cream (tretinoin) on your own. It can be safe to restart, but only under a dermatologist?s supervision, as dose adjustments and monitoring are needed for safety.

  1. Consultation with a Dermatologist

    • It's crucial to consult a dermatologist before restarting isotretinoin and tretinoin treatments to assess your current skin condition and any changes since the last treatment.

  2. Safety Considerations for Isotretinoin (Sotret)

    • Be aware of potential side effects and risks. Baseline blood tests (liver function, lipid profile) are necessary before resuming.
    • Ensure pregnancy precautions and mandatory contraception if you are of childbearing age.

  3. Use of Tretinoin Cream (Revize)

    • Tretinoin helps in acne treatment but may cause skin irritation. Manage this by using a moisturizer and sunscreen.

  4. Monitoring and Follow-up

    • Regular follow-up visits are important to monitor response and side effects. Dosage adjustments may be needed based on progress.

  5. General Skin Care Advice

    • Adopt a gentle skin care routine and avoid sun exposure. Use sunscreen during treatment to protect your skin.
