Patient summary
Tretiva is isotretinoin from 5mg to 30mg in soft capsules for severe, nodulocystic and cystic acne, cutting sebaceous gland activity and size.
Mechanism of action
Isotretinoin reduces sebaceous gland activity and size, inhibits keratinization, and modulates inflammation, significantly decreasing the production of sebum that contributes to acne.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Strictly contraindicated; high risk of severe birth defects. Breastfeeding: Contraindicated.
Tretiva contains isotretinoin, a retinoid taken by mouth for severe acne and nodulocystic acne. It is supplied as soft capsules in 5mg, 10mg, 20mg and 30mg strengths, and is also known as Roaccutane or Isotroin.
Isotretinoin reduces the size and activity of the sebaceous glands, limits keratinisation and moderates inflammation, so less sebum is produced to feed the acne. A response is usually seen within 2 to 4 weeks, and a course commonly runs 4 to 6 months. The most serious warning concerns pregnancy: the medicine is strictly contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding because of the risk of severe birth defects, and pregnancy must be avoided throughout treatment.
