Many syrups may contain folic acid and are prescribed based on symptoms. If folic acid was the main ingredient, go for a tablet.

Tretiva-20 Capsule 10's is a Category X pregnancy drug and is considered unsafe for pregnant women as it may cause severe birth defects. Please consult a doctor if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy. Findings of one study indicate that isotretinoin in the treatment of acne is a safe drug, with no serious long-term side-effects (ncbi). Longest days of effects after stopping this med are 35 days as read elsewhere in ncbi. However your doctor is best guide. My suggestion is when you are already pregnant and apprehensive about foetus health, pl follow garbhini specific safe Ayurvedic herbal treatment for the health of foetus and its development. Also of mother. Nothing much can be done but NUTRITION and Ayurvedic are foetus friendly and mother friendly. Pl consult if interested for further guidance.

You should not continue taking tretiva on your own it’s not advisable. Kindly visit your dermatologist for further treatment. There is no permanent cure for acne it has to be managed by various ways. The reasons for it can be many like diet related, hormone related, genetic factors, etc so kindly consult your dermatologist again.

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. These factors can trigger or aggravate acne: hormones, certain medications, diet, stress. To prevent pimples, eat fresh fruits, green vegetables, drinking plenty of water should be an essential part of your routine and intake of oily fried foods, an excess of sugar-salt should be avoided. Don't peal pimples, as they tend to leave scars. Stop using soap on face. Instead take a spoon of milk, add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on face with the help of cotton. Leave for a few minutes then wash off. It’s a good cleanser. If skin is dry then apply moisturizer like coconut oil. For swollen pimples, gently apply ice for a minute or so. Just don't keep the ice on so long that it irritates your skin. Tea tree oil can kill bacteria. Some people use it to treat minor skin irritations, including acne. There isn't much research on how effective it is, but tea tree oil is safe to put directly on your skin in a diluted form. Try it on a small area first to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction. Simple honey mask--before applying this mask, rinse your face with warm water to open up pores. Then apply honey and leave it on the skin for 30 minutes. Rinse the honey off with warm water; then rinse again with cold water to close the pores. Yeast and yogurt mask for oily skin--oily skin is prone to acne, and this home remedy can reduce excess oil and help clear acne. To make the mask, combine 1 teaspoon of brewer's yeast with a little plain yogurt to create a thin mixture. Apply it thoroughly to all the oily areas and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water; then use cold water to close the pores.Homeopathy is a very effective for this problem n has very encouraging results. For more details consult online.

Good evening. Tretiva 20 contains isotretinoin. It is commonly used in the treatment of stubborn acne and strict precautions are advised so that you do not concieve while on it or within 1 month of stopping it. There are various schools of thought regarding its use but in general the time duration of treatment is usually dependant on the dose. It is given, if no contraindication present, at the very least, for a couple of months, during which regular timely blood tests are done to monitor its effects. Also kindly ensure you are treating the pcos component since it is a cause for acne in general. Have a follow up with your treating doctor regarding his/her plan for your acne control and i'm sure he/she would be more than happy to discuss his/her point of view regarding the same.
