FAQ
Which strengths and pack sizes of Isofair can I order?
Isofair capsules come in 10mg and 20mg strengths. You can order packs of 30, 60, 90, 120 or 180 capsules. Larger packs cost less per capsule.
How can I pay for Isofair and what if it goes missing?
For Isofair, you can pay by Visa, Mastercard or American Express on a secure, encrypted payment page, or with Bitcoin or Ethereum. Card details never reach the shop's servers. If a parcel does not arrive within its delivery window, or arrives damaged, it is sent again free; if that is not possible, the order is refunded.
What other names is isotretinoin sold under?
Isofair is a branded generic of isotretinoin, the ingredient in Accutane. Isotretinoin is also sold as Absorica, Epuris, Roaccutane and Sotret. Here, isotretinoin can be bought online as Isofair, and also as Tretiva. These are generics, not the original brand.
How long does a course of Isofair usually last?
Plan on roughly 15 to 20 weeks, with the dose often adjusted partway. Skin clears slowly, and most of the improvement tends to come late in the course rather than in the first weeks. Some people need a second course if acne returns months afterwards.
Can I drink alcohol with Isofair?
It is best to leave alcohol out while you are taking isotretinoin. The medicine can raise the level of fats in the blood, and regular drinking pushes triglycerides up as well, so the two do not sit well together. Triglyceride and liver checks during a course pick up any change.
What is the difference between Isofair 10mg and 20mg?
The number is how much isotretinoin sits in each capsule. Doses are worked out by body weight and often change during a course, so the 20mg strength is for people on a higher dose who would otherwise be swallowing two capsules at a time.
Is Isofair the same as Tretiva?
They are two brands of the same medicine — isotretinoin capsules for severe acne — so the difference lies in the strengths on offer. Isofair comes in 10mg and 20mg; Tretiva covers 5mg, 10mg, 20mg and 30mg, which helps when a dose changes.
Why does isotretinoin make skin burn more easily in the sun?
Skin on isotretinoin is drier and more fragile, so it reddens and burns faster than it normally would. Sunscreen, a hat and staying out of strong midday sun keep that under control. The sensitivity fades after the course ends.
About Isofair
What kind of acne is Isofair for?
Deep, painful lumps, cysts that keep returning and scars beginning to form are the kind of acne isotretinoin is kept for. It is used when antibiotics and creams have not made enough difference. Isofair is an oral capsule in 10mg and 20mg strengths.
How isotretinoin works
Isotretinoin belongs to the retinoids, a family of medicines related to vitamin A. It works on the sebaceous glands — the oil producers in the skin — and cuts the amount of sebum they release. With less grease in the pores there is less blockage and less food for the bacteria that inflame acne, and skin sheds its old cells instead of holding on to them. Change comes slowly: the first few weeks can look worse before the skin starts to settle.
Taking Isofair capsules
One capsule, whole, with a meal. Food in the stomach helps the body take isotretinoin up, and capsules are not made to be chewed or opened. This is a months-long medicine rather than a short course. The strength or the number of capsules often changes partway through as the skin responds, so what you take in week ten may differ from week one. Keep the pack somewhere dry and out of strong light.
Side effects to know about
Dry lips, mouth, nose, eyes and skin are the usual complaints, and cracked lips or nosebleeds are common enough. Aching muscles and joints and headaches turn up too. Blood fats and liver enzymes can rise, so those are usually checked during a course. Less common but serious: a severe headache with blurred or changed vision, ringing in the ears or hearing loss, mood changes, or severe stomach pain — any of these needs urgent attention. Isotretinoin must not be taken during pregnancy, because it causes serious birth defects, and it should not be combined with tetracycline antibiotics or vitamin A supplements. Blood donation should wait until a month after the last capsule.
Isofair or Tretiva?
Same medicine inside both capsules — isotretinoin — and the same job: stubborn acne that has not settled with other treatment. What separates them is the brand and the range of strengths. Isofair comes as 10mg and 20mg. Tretiva adds 5mg and 30mg, which gives more room when a dose has to move up or down mid-course. For the ingredient itself, see isotretinoin.
