Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Tretiva 10mg (Intas Isotretinoin 10mg) used for?
Tretiva 10mg by Intas treats severe cystic and nodular acne. Intas Pharmaceuticals is a leading Indian pharma company. The 10mg strength is appropriate for low body weight patients, those sensitive to isotretinoin, or as part of a gentle extended low-dose regimen.
Q2: How does Tretiva 10mg work?
Isotretinoin reduces sebaceous gland activity by up to 90%, normalizes follicular keratinization, eliminates Cutibacterium acnes colonization, and has anti-inflammatory properties — addressing all the root causes of severe acne.
Q3: What is the recommended dose at 10mg?
Standard dosing target is 0.5–1 mg/kg/day. A 10mg dose is appropriate for patients weighing ~10–20kg (paediatric) or as a low dose for adults pursuing gentle extended therapy. The cumulative dose target of 120–150 mg/kg still applies.
Q4: How long is a Tretiva 10mg course?
For a 50kg adult at 10mg/day: approximately 10–12 months to reach 120–150 mg/kg cumulative dose. Your dermatologist specifies the exact course length.
Q5: Is Tretiva 10mg teratogenic?
Yes — isotretinoin at any dose including 10mg is severely teratogenic. Two forms of contraception and monthly pregnancy tests are mandatory throughout treatment and for 1 month after stopping.
Q6: What are the common side effects at 10mg?
Dry lips, mild skin dryness, nosebleeds, and occasional joint discomfort are typical. At 10mg, these are milder than standard doses but consistent moisturising is still important.
Q7: What blood monitoring is required?
Liver function tests and fasting lipid panel at baseline and monthly. Female patients require monthly pregnancy tests. These apply to all isotretinoin formulations.
Q8: Can I take Tretiva 10mg with other acne medications?
Tetracycline antibiotics (doxycycline, minocycline) are absolutely contraindicated during any isotretinoin therapy. Other topical treatments should be discussed with your dermatologist before combining.
Q9: Is vitamin A supplementation safe with Tretiva 10mg?
No. All vitamin A supplements, fish liver oils, and high-dose beta-carotene must be avoided during isotretinoin treatment due to additive hypervitaminosis A toxicity risk.
Q10: Why is sun protection important?
Isotretinoin increases photosensitivity at all doses. Daily SPF 30+ is recommended to protect sensitised skin and prevent UV-worsened pigmentation.
Q11: How should Tretiva 10mg capsules be stored?
Store at room temperature (15°C–30°C) away from light and moisture. Keep in original blister packs until use.
Q12: Do I need a prescription for Tretiva 10mg?
Yes. Isotretinoin at all doses requires a dermatologist prescription with compliance to a pregnancy prevention program and monthly laboratory monitoring.
