Ensure your knowledge of isotretinoin is up to date with this video on demand version of our half-day online webinar, which offers an in-depth understanding of acne, covering its causes, differential diagnosis and treatment strategies.
We will explore first and second-line treatments for acne, including topical and systemic therapies.
You will learn when isotretinoin should be the first-line option or used after other treatments fail, along with essential guidelines for individuals requiring contraception while taking isotretinoin.
Our presenters will cover dosing, duration, necessary blood tests, managing side effects, including isotretinoin-induced flares, asteotosis, dyslipidaemia and managing recurrences post-treatment. The issue of isotretinoin and mood disorders will be fully examined.
We will discuss referrals to dermatologists, and review case studies, and you can watch the Q&A session that was recorded live on the day.
By the end of the session, you should be confident in managing acne, including the use of isotretinoin.
