Roaccutane 10mg Soft Capsules (30 Capsules) – Isotretinoin for Severe Acne

Roaccutane 10mg soft capsules contain isotretinoin, a vitamin A derivative (retinoid) prescribed for severe forms of acne — such as nodular or conglobate acne, or acne at risk of permanent scarring — that has not responded to standard treatments including antibiotics and topical therapy.

Isotretinoin works by reducing the size and activity of the skin’s oil (sebaceous) glands, calming inflammation and helping to keep pores clear. A course usually runs for several months, and many patients see long-lasting improvement afterwards.

Isotretinoin is a specialist medicine with important safety requirements, including a strict pregnancy prevention programme for anyone who can become pregnant. HubPharm dispenses Roaccutane only against a valid prescription from a registered prescriber, verified by a licensed pharmacist before release.

How is Roaccutane taken?

Isotretinoin is normally taken with food, once or twice a day, at a dose your prescriber sets based on body weight and response. Follow the exact schedule your prescriber gives you and do not change the dose yourself.

How long does a course last?

A typical course runs for several months. Your prescriber decides the length based on your response and cumulative dose. Many people need only one course.

Can Roaccutane be taken during pregnancy?

No. Isotretinoin causes serious harm to an unborn baby and must never be taken in pregnancy. Anyone who can become pregnant must follow the pregnancy prevention programme, including reliable contraception and regular pregnancy testing, as directed by the prescriber.

What are the common side effects?

Dry lips, skin and eyes, nosebleeds, and muscle or joint aches are common. Acne can briefly worsen when starting. Report mood changes, severe headache, vision problems or any concerning symptom to your prescriber promptly.

What monitoring is required?

Prescribers typically check liver function and blood fats before and during treatment, and arrange pregnancy testing where relevant. Attend all review appointments.

Can I drink alcohol or take vitamin A supplements?

Limit alcohol and avoid vitamin A supplements during treatment, as both can add to the strain on the liver or increase side effects. Ask your pharmacist before starting any new product.

How should Roaccutane be stored?

Store below 25°C in the original pack, protected from light, and out of the sight and reach of children. Never share this medicine, and return unused or expired capsules to a pharmacy for safe disposal — do not donate them.
