Short Description

Dosage Form

Soft Gelatin Capsule

Introduction

Elvac 20mg Soft Gelatin Capsule should be used in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Take it with food, preferably at the same time each day to avoid a missed dose. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve but keep taking the medicine regularly to get the most benefit. If you notice no improvement after a few weeks, see your doctor again.

How it works

Elvac 20mg Soft Gelatin Capsule is a derivative of vitamin A. It acts on glands (sebaceous) to reduce the production of a natural substance (sebum) that causes acne. Also, the controlled sebum production kills acne-causing bacteria. It also works as an anti-inflammatory to decrease inflammation (redness and swelling).

Quick Tips

You have been prescribed Elvac 20mg Soft Gelatin Capsule for the treatment of severe acne. Take it with food. Avoid exposure to sunlight while using Elvac 20mg Soft Gelatin Capsule. Use protective measures such as sunscreen or protective clothing. Avoid face waxing and laser treatment while using this medicine as it makes your skin more fragile.

Do not take Elvac 20mg Soft Gelatin Capsule if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
