Isotretinoin is commonly known by what brand name?

Accutane
Zyban
Proactiv
Retin-A

The correct answer is: Accutane

Isotretinoin is most commonly recognized by the brand name Accutane. This medication is primarily used in the treatment of severe acne that has not responded to other treatments. Its effectiveness in reducing the size and output of sebaceous (oil) glands helps to prevent the clogging of pores, leading to fewer acne breakouts. Other options listed are associated with different drugs and purposes. Zyban, for instance, is a brand name for bupropion, which is used as an antidepressant and smoking cessation aid. Proactiv is a skincare system specifically designed for treating acne but does not contain isotretinoin. Retin-A is a brand name for tretinoin, a topical retinoid used for acne and skin aging, but it is distinct from isotretinoin, which is taken orally. Understanding these distinctions reinforces the knowledge of various dermatological treatments and their applications.
