Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Retinoid that binds to and activates retinoic acid receptors (RARs), thereby normalizing keratinocyte differentiation and reducing sebum production.
Isotretinoin, a retinoid, reduces sebum production, inhibits sebaceous gland activity, and normalizes follicular keratinization. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects.
0.5-1.0 mg/kg/day orally in 2 divided doses
Oral: 30 mg once daily after a meal for 12 weeks; administration with high-fat meal increases absorption.
