Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Acutret Capsule contains ingredient called 'Isotretinoin'. Isotretinoin is used to treat severe acne.
Common side effects encountered with its use include:
Changes in skin color, Skin peeling, Cracking of skin, Cracked lips, Dry lips, Dry skin, Bleeding gums, Impaired healing, Increased sweating, Nose bleed, Nose pain, Sore throat, Voice change, Hoarseness of voice, Abnormal hair growth on a women face and body.
You can overcome some of the symptoms you are experiencing by applying moisturizer lip balm and artificial tears to keep your eyes lubricated. Drink good quantity of water and keep yourself well hydrated. Supplementation of Vitamin C through diet by consuming citrus fruits would also seem to help.
Dosage may need alteration based on your condition and hence you need to seek medical attention if your condition persists or worsens.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
