Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Does low does of accutane cause long term side effect?
Accutane side effects
Nov 2, 2014
Any dose of Accutane can cause side effects, although some side effects are worse with higher doses. Make sure you see your dermatologist for a live examination to properly evaluate and treat your current skin problems.
Does vitamin E help to reduce side effect after stopping accutane?
Vitamin E and Accutane side effects
Nov 2, 2014
There is actually no good evidence that Vitamin E helps with side effects of Accutane. Check with your dermatologist for more evidence-based medication that will help your issues after a good live examination.
Why have my pores become larger since I stopped accutane?
Accutane and pores
Nov 2, 2014
Accutane may have unmasked something that was already there, but hidden by active acne lesions. Have your dermatologist do a live examination of this problem.
Is my Accutane dosage accurate @ 20mg twice a day? Side effects are only excessively dry lips and no
Accutane dosage
Nov 2, 2014
I think you should be on 0.5 - 1 mg/kg per day for at least 20 weeks. However, efficacy is really based on the cumulative dose, so if you take half the recommended dosage, then you should be on it for at least 40 weeks. Sometimes dosage is kept low because of side effects, so if you don't want potentially drier lips or more thinning hair, you may want to stay on this lower dose for a longer period of time.
Can I take Panadol while on accutane?
Panadol and Accutane
Nov 2, 2014
There should be no interaction between Panadol and Accutane, but check with your pharmacist to be certain.
Skipping Accutane for 3 or 4 days?
Skipping Accutane
Nov 2, 2014
This probably will not make much of a difference, as you should be on Accutane for at least 20 weeks. Just try not to miss too many more doses after that.
Does the acutane still work for men?
Accutane and men
Nov 2, 2014
Accutane is the most effective medication for acne in both men and women, but you have to be patient and stick to at least 20 weeks of therapy at 0.5 - 1 mg/kg per day. you may be on a dose that is too low for you, so you may need to increase the dose or stay on it for more than 6 months.
