Description

Accufine 40 (Isotretinoin 40 mg) is a vitamin A derivative and one of the most effective systemic therapies for severe acne. Unlike topical treatments or antibiotics, isotretinoin works from within the body to address the root causes of acne—excess oil production, clogged pores, bacterial growth, and inflammation.

This higher-strength formulation is commonly used in patients with extensive acne, scarring risk, or relapse after lower doses, always under strict dermatological supervision.
