About this product
Overview
Maxinoin 40mg capsules contain isotretinoin, a medication that belongs to the retinoid class of drugs. It is primarily used for the treatment of severe acne that has not responded to other treatments. Isotretinoin works by reducing the production of sebum, which helps to unclog pores and prevent the formation of acne lesions. It is a potent medication that requires careful monitoring and should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
Side Effects
- Dryness: Isotretinoin commonly causes dryness of the skin, lips, eyes, and nasal passages. This can lead to dry, cracked, or peeling skin, chapped lips, dry eyes, and nosebleeds.
- Skin Sensitivity: Some individuals may experience increased sensitivity to sunlight, making the skin more prone to sunburns. It is important to use sun protection measures, such as wearing sunscreen and protective clothing, while taking isotretinoin.
- Muscle and Joint Pain: Isotretinoin can cause muscle and joint pain, which can be mild to severe in some cases.

- Gastrointestinal Effects: Isotretinoin may cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and changes in bowel movements.
When Not to Use

Adequate contraception should be used during treatment and for a certain period after stopping isotretinoin, as advised by a healthcare professional.
- Breastfeeding: Isotretinoin can pass into breast milk and may harm the nursing infant. It is generally recommended to avoid breastfeeding while taking isotretinoin.
