Maxinoin Isotretinoin 20mg Capsules (pack of 10) by Maxitech contain isotretinoin, a potent oral retinoid for the treatment of severe, recalcitrant nodular acne that has failed to respond to conventional treatments including antibiotics. The 20mg dose is typically prescribed as part of a cumulative dosing regimen under close dermatologist supervision. Isotretinoin reduces sebum production, normalises skin cell turnover, and prevents bacterial colonisation — addressing all major factors in acne pathogenesis. Part of our Power Brands range.

Reliable contraception is mandatory during treatment and for one month after stopping. Regular blood tests and monitoring are required throughout treatment. Use only under dermatologist supervision.
