INDICATIONS AND USAGE: ABSORICA® (isotretinoin) is a medicine taken by mouth to treat the most severe form of acne (nodular acne) that cannot be cleared up by any other acne treatments, including antibiotics. ABSORICA can cause serious side effects, birth defects and mental health problems. Females who are pregnant or who plan to become pregnant must not take ABSORICA. Please see Full Prescribing Information including Boxed Warning and Medication Guide for additional Risk Information.
ABSORICA treats severe recalcitrant nodular acne that cannot be cleared up by any other acne treatments, including antibiotics. ABSORICA (isotretinoin) is recommended in two divided doses that can be taken with or without food – unlike any other isotretinoin available.
ABSORICA is different from other isotretinoin medications because it is created using Lidose™ Technology. With this technology, the body is better able to absorb the medication when taken without food. Once the medication is absorbed, it can then get to work to help clear up your acne.

ABSORICA treats acne where it starts. It reduces the amount of sebum the skin produces by shrinking the oil glands. When less sebum is made, fewer bacteria grow. The pores have less chance of clogging and forming acne.
ABSORICA capsules are different from other isotretinoins.
Each ABSORICA isotretinoin capsule is created using Lidose™ Technology. With this technology, the body is better able to absorb the medication when taken without food. Once the medication is absorbed, it can then work to help clear up acne.
