It's great to hear that your acne has improved with the current treatment regimen.

Acutret 20 (Isotretinoin) is a powerful medication for acne, and Azithromycin 500 (Azid 500) is an antibiotic that helps combat bacterial infections.

Given your situation, here are some guidelines to consider:

Continuing Treatment

1. Acutret 20: You can continue taking Acutret 20 as prescribed (after breakfast) until you can meet your doctor again.
2. Azid 500: Since you've been instructed to take Azid 500 thrice a week for 2 weeks, you can complete the remaining course (if any) as directed.
