Isotretinoin
Isotretinoin (INN) (pronounced /aɪsoʊtrɨˈtɪnoʊɨn/ or /ˌaɪsoʊtrɨˈtɪnoʊɨn/) is a medication used for the treatment of moderate to severe acne. It was first developed to be used as a chemotherapy medication for the treatment of brain cancer, pancreatic cancer and more. It is still used in the treatment of these cancers to this day because of its ability to kill cells off that divide too quickly. The effects of the medication are non-selective and highly widespread.
