Accutane’s generic name is Isotretinoin. This is the name used by pharmaceutical companies to produce and distribute the medication. You’ll find it listed this way on most prescriptions and drug information sheets.
However, isotretinoin is available under various brand names worldwide, depending on the manufacturer and country of sale. It’s not always called Accutane.
| Roaccutane | Many European countries, Australia |
| Amnesteem | United States |
| Claravis | United States |
| Sotret | United States |
Always check the active ingredient listed on the packaging to confirm it’s isotretinoin, if you are unsure if a medication is the same as Accutane. Consulting your doctor or pharmacist is crucial for accurate identification and safe medication use.
