Copyright © 2024, Rajput et al..

The treatment of acne vulgaris poses a significant challenge due to its chronic nature and potential influence on patients' quality of life. Isotretinoin, a systemic retinoid, has emerged as one of the most efficient treatment options for chronic, severe acne. However, the use of isotretinoin is associated with a range of side effects that require careful consideration. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the side effects linked to isotretinoin treatment for acne vulgaris. Through an analysis of existing literature and clinical studies, we discuss the various adverse reactions, their incidence, management strategies, and the influence of these side effects on patients' quality of life.
