Used For:

 Oratane Gel usually contains isotretinoin, which is a medication primarily used to treat severe acne that hasn't responded well to other treatments. Isotretinoin is a retinoid, working by reducing the production of sebum (oil) in the skin and promoting the shedding of dead skin cells. It's effective against various types of acne lesions, including cysts and nodules.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Dryness or peeling of the skin
• Skin irritation or redness
• Itching or burning sensation at the application site
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight

Serious side effects are rare with topical use but may include severe allergic reactions or severe skin reactions. If you experience any unusual or severe symptoms, contact your healthcare provider promptly.

Precautions:

• Allergies: Inform your doctor if you are allergic to isotretinoin or any other ingredients in the gel.
• Medical History: Discuss your medical history with your doctor, especially if you have any skin conditions, allergies, or other medical conditions.
• Application: Apply the gel as directed by your doctor. Clean and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the gel. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, nose, and other mucous membranes. Wash your hands after applying the gel unless your hands are the treated area.
• Sun Exposure: Use sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors, as isotretinoin can increase sensitivity to sunlight.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Avoid using isotretinoin gel if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as it may harm the unborn baby or pass into breast milk.

Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and read the patient information leaflet provided with the medication for detailed guidance on usage, precautions, and potential side effects.
