Accutane

What is Accutane (Isotretinoin) by SYN Pharma?

Accutane, the brand name for **Isotretinoin**, is a powerful oral retinoid used in the treatment of severe, cystic, or treatment-resistant acne. SYN Pharma’s research-grade Accutane is formulated for consistent potency and purity, intended for investigational and non-clinical use only.

Isotretinoin works by shrinking the sebaceous (oil) glands, reducing oil production, and preventing clogged pores—addressing the root causes of acne at a systemic level. It is considered one of the most effective compounds for achieving long-term remission in acne-prone individuals.

Accutane Benefits

Accutane has been shown to provide the following clinical benefits:

• Significant reduction in acne severity: often clears deep cystic and nodular acne when other treatments fail;
• Long-term remission: many users experience permanent or long-term clearance with a single cycle;
• Reduced oil production: minimizes oily skin and clogged pores;
• Improved skin texture: smoother complexion with reduced breakouts and inflammation.

Potential Side Effects

Accutane is a potent compound with known side effects that vary based on dosage and individual response:

• Dry lips, nose, and eyes (most common);
• Skin sensitivity and dryness;
• Temporary increase in acne at the start of the cycle (“purging”);
• Mood changes, joint pain, or fatigue (less common);
• Elevated liver enzymes or cholesterol levels (dose-dependent).

Routine blood work and hydration are important during extended use. Lip balm, moisturizer, and omega-3 supplements are often used to manage dryness-related symptoms.

Contraindications

Accutane should not be used in the following situations:

• Pregnancy or risk of becoming pregnant (severe birth defect risk);
• Existing liver disease or elevated liver enzymes;
• Severe depression or psychiatric disorders (use with caution);
• Allergy to isotretinoin or vitamin A derivatives.

Accutane Dosage and Administration

Typical dosages range between **10 mg to 40 mg per day**, depending on severity and body weight. Many users follow a **daily or alternate-day schedule**, with cycle lengths of **12–20 weeks** being common.

Accutane should be taken with a high-fat meal to improve absorption. Avoid alcohol and excessive vitamin A during the cycle.
