Is isotretinoin (Isotretinoin) a hormonal drug?

IsotretinoinAcid (Isotretinoin) is not a hormone drug, but a synthetic derivative of vitamin A, which is often used to treat severe acne and other skin-related problems. Although the mechanism of action of isotretinoin Aacid is related to vitamin AA, it is not a hormone but a synthetic substance of vitamin AA. Next, we’ll explain this and the mechanism of action of Isovitamin Aacid in more detail.

The chemical name of isotretinoinAacid is13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cis-Retinoic Acid), which is a derivative of vitamin A. VitaminA is essential for maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes and is involved in cell growth, differentiation and repair. Isotretinoin Aacid combats acne and other skin problems by simulating the activity of vitamin A to affect the growth and differentiation of skin cells.

Although isotretinoin is very effective in treating acne, unlike hormonal drugs, it does not affect hormone levels in the body. Hormone drugs are usually medications used to adjust hormones in the body to treat a range of hormone-related conditions, such as androgen or thyroid hormone imbalances.

However, it is worth noting that isotretinoinAacid is accompanied by a series of serious side effects and potential risks during treatment, so it should only be used under the supervision of a professional doctor. Most importantly, women need to use highly effective contraceptive measures to prevent pregnancy during use, as isotretinoin Aacid may cause severe fetal malformations.

IsotretinoinAacid is available in China, and patients can buy it at domestic pharmacies.
