It can take 4 to 6 weeks to start seeing results from isotretinoin 40 mg, but it may take up to 16 weeks to see the full effects. In some cases, you may need to take isotretinoin for a longer period of time.
Your doctor will monitor your progress and adjust your dosage as needed. It is important to be patient and consistent with your treatment, as isotretinoin can be a very effective medication for acne.
Here are some tips for getting the most out of your isotretinoin treatment:
Take isotretinoin exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Do not miss any doses.
Avoid taking isotretinoin with food, as this can reduce its absorption.
Use a moisturizer and sunscreen daily, as isotretinoin can make your skin dry and sensitive to the sun.
See your doctor for regular follow-up appointments.
