Irotin (Isotretinoin) is used to treat severe recalcitrant nodular acne (a certain type of severe acne) that has not been helped by other treatments, such as antibiotics. Isotretinoin is in a class of medications called retinoids. It works by slowing the production of certain natural substances that can cause pimples to form.

Isotretinoin comes as a capsule to take by mouth. Isotretinoin is usually taken twice a day with meals.

Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the capsules whole with a full glass of liquid. Do not chew or suck on the capsules.
