Terliful 1mg Injection

Introduction

Terliful is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Isotretinoin. It is available in the form of an injectable solution. Isotretinoin is a powerful medication that is primarily used in the treatment of severe acne.

Uses

Terliful is prescribed to patients who have not responded well to other acne treatments or who have severe forms of acne, such as nodular acne or acne conglobata. It helps to reduce the production of oil in the skin and prevents the formation of acne lesions.

Dosage and Administration

Terliful should be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The dosage and duration of treatment will vary depending on the severity of the acne and the patient’s response to the medication. It is typically given as a series of injections over a period of several months.

Mechanism of Action

Isotretinoin works by targeting the underlying causes of acne. It reduces the size of the sebaceous glands in the skin, which are responsible for producing excessive amounts of oil. By decreasing oil production, Isotretinoin helps to prevent clogged pores and the formation of acne lesions.

Side Effects

Common side effects include dry skin, dry eyes, and chapped lips. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own.

However, there are also some serious side effects that may occur. These include mood changes, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Seek medical attention if any of these symptoms occur.

Drug Interactions

Terliful may interact with other medications. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. Some medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics, may interact with Isotretinoin and increase the risk of side effects.

Precautions

Before starting treatment with Terliful, inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you have, including liver disease, diabetes, or mental health disorders. Isotretinoin may not be suitable for everyone, and your healthcare provider will assess whether it is the right treatment option for you.

Avoid pregnancy while taking Terliful, as Isotretinoin can cause severe birth defects. Women of childbearing age are required to use two forms of contraception and undergo regular pregnancy tests during treatment.

Storage

Terliful should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use the medication if it has expired or if the solution is discolored or contains particles.

Patient Tips

• Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider regarding the dosage and administration of Terliful.
