Effect of isotretinoin on the body

Lisotretinoin slows down the proliferation of epithelial cells of the ducts of the sebaceous glands and normalizes the differentiation of terminal cells. Lisotretinoin facilitates secretion and reduces sebum production.

Taking isotretinoin with food increases bioavailability by 2 times. The maximum concentration in the blood plasma is reached within 2-4 hours. Lisotretinoin is 99.9% bound to plasma proteins (mainly with albumin). The life of isotretinoin is 19 hours. Lisotretinoin is excreted in the bile and kidneys in approximately equal quantities.
