Netlook 20 mg is a powerful systemic retinoid used for the treatment of severe, recalcitrant acne that has not responded to other therapies. It is equivalent to international brands like Roaccutane.
Each soft gelatin capsule contains:
- Isotretinoin (20 mg): A derivative of Vitamin A that reduces sebaceous gland size and oil production.
- Auxiliary components: Includes yellow beeswax and soybean oil in a gelatin-glycerol shell.
- Indications: Severe forms of acne (nodular-cystic, conglobate) or acne at high risk of permanent scarring.
- Administration: Must be taken with food to double its bioavailability.
- Dosage: Strictly as prescribed by a specialist. Usually initiated based on body weight.
Strict Caution: Isotretinoin must NOT be used during pregnancy as it causes severe birth defects.
- Sun Sensitivity: Users in Hurghada must use high SPF sunscreen, as Netlook significantly increases skin sensitivity to the sun.
- Side Effects: Common effects include dryness of the lips, eyes, and skin. Regular monitoring of liver function and lipids is required.
