چکیده
Oral isotretinoin (13-cis-retinoic acid) was first approved as treatment for severe acne by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1982. To date the efficacy of isotretinoin has not been superseded by any other treatment and over two decades later isotretinoin remains the most clinically effective anti-acne therapy, producing long-term remission and/or significant improvement in many patients.
