Isotretinoin: Is the generic name for netlook, it is present in the US under different brand names, it is a prescription medication, and should be used with caution by females, restrictions apply, for all patients, they need to be under doctor's supervision, treatment takes months to complete, + ? other medicines, check with your doctor who might refer you to a dermatologist for proper long term management
