Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
Isotretinoin is a very effective drug in the treatment of acne vulgaris but you need to be patient enough to see any significant improvement. It takes atleast 4-6 weeks to show response and full control may require upto 4-5 months.
The combination of isotretinoin and clindac a gel is very good and you should continue using both.
I hope to have answered your query.
Wish you speedy recovery.
