accutane

Avatar n tn Also could me being on Accutane effect healing this rash. Im in month 4 and have been on 80 MG a day since day 1 so i wouldnt think this would be the cause.
Avatar m tn I started on 20 mg a day month 1, 40 mg month 2, and 60 mg months 3 and 4. 3 weeks ago I had my 1st eye infection of my entire life in my right eye so I went to an opthamalogist and he told me to stop taking the accutane for a week (which is what he says caused the infection) and put me on doxyclince hyclate 100mg twice a day and eurithromyocin gel to put on my eyelid that knocked the infection out.
Avatar m tn Antibiotics and other topical have not worked well enough and the dermatologist is recommending that I go on accutane. I have an app. about it in several weeks. My father had severe acne until he took accutane for 3 months at a high dose without recieving any negative side effects, which cleared up 90 percent of the acne. My mother didnt have acne. I am ready to go on accutane, but the thing is that I do submission wrestling.
8812528 tn?1400857632 I'm on Accutane and to use the medicine I have to get my blood work done every month. Since being on Accutane my triglycerides have been acting up. The first 3/4 months I was mid to high 200's, but this past month I was at 733.
954385 tn?1246410188 Depending on how far along she is in her pregnancy, the accutane was probably out of her system for at least 3 or 4 months. According to the drug information, after 1 month off the drug, pregnancy is okay. good luck!
Avatar n tn My girlfriend is 4 weeks pregnant(Conception was sometime the last full week of May). She was taking the acne medicine Accutane until the last week of April(Accutane causes severe birth defects and conception was not intended,) Everything we have read says that the medicine is out of your system within 7-10 days but that you should wait at least one month before trying to conceive.
Avatar f tn I believe I am pregnant: I had been taking accutane for several months during the month of may and june 2009 i had been forgetting to take the meds, i was taking them every other day. Around June 11, I took one than I forgot to take one until the 19th, which is the same day I think I got pregnant. I did not take any other pill after that, do you think this can harm my baby?
Avatar n tn Teak iI read online that accutane is somewhat immunosuppressive. Will that affect the 1 month post exposure test? Or my 3-7month post exposure results?
Avatar f tn My skin cleared up but i still have acne marks on my cheeks . I am off accutane since 3-4 months . Last months i got two pimples not that big and stubborn after a long time . This month i got four but again not that bad at all . Is there something i can do to try to make sure my acne doesn't come back? Will i be getting pimples again? Please guys i need your honest and out of experience and knowledge thoughts on this . This all has caused me severe psychological problems.
Avatar n tn I am not a doctor, but I am on Accutane. It is the 2nd month of my second course of the drug. I used the cream hair removal 1 time, because I thought it would be ok as it was for sensitive skin and used it before. Big mistake. My face pretty much was burnt after with small welts all over it. Even putting aloe vera or my aveeno cream made it sting and it burnt for hours later.
Avatar n tn I took accutane for about 3-4 months, but I've been off of it for over a year. Before I took accutane, I was constantly wet - I would actually have to change underwear once or twice a day. I had an extremely high libido and orgasmed quickly. While on accutane, if my boyfriend and I would try to have sex, it would be so dry it felt like sandpaper and I would end up convulsing with tears it was so painful and frustrating. I thought it would change...
Avatar n tn My dermatologist decided it was time to give accutane a try. I did a 7 month course and reached the target cumulative dose of 120 mg/kg. I did not have much of an initial breakout, was pretty much clear for months 3 to 6. Near the end of my course I started to get a few zits. It has now been three weeks post-accutane, and I am starting to get more and more whiteheads. Not the big inflamed whiteheads I used to get but it looks like things are returning.
Avatar m tn 5mg per kg for the first month, then 0.6667 mg per kg for the 2nd and 3rd month and then went onto 1mg per kg for the last 3 and a half months. I am extremely concerned about the possibility of having prematurely stunting my growth as a result of taking Accutane. I have read some literature and spontaneous reports on the internet that Isotretinoin can lead to 'premature epiphyseal fusion' of the long bones.
Avatar n tn My 17 year old daughter developed fibroadenoma one month after starting accutane. She is still on accutane. Should I wait till she is off the accutane to have the surgery?
Avatar n tn this is about my 3rd month i think at 40mg and i have noticed that my head is actualy peeling (please be mature) i am not circumsized so i do have skin over it but the tip of my skin has really puffed out and tured red and i actually have extremly bad pain sometimes like a really bad stinging like were it hurts to walk i have tired mosturizer on my head and the skin over it well i cant see my head anymore because when i pull the skin back to see how its bin i cant because of the pain i cant real
Avatar n tn its been two months now... im off of accutane i didn't complete my accutane therapy.. i left after 3rd month..because i started having knee pains... but just recently i have severe joint pains.. i went to the doc.. he gave me all the tests from blood cp, esr, uric acid, blood fasting sugar, thyroid... all the tests came out normal..except for the uric acid...its helll high! like way too high! so this the reason my every joint in the body is aching!
Avatar f tn Ty so much for ur help. Jst stressful trying to figure it out n what to do. I was thinking it was caused by the accutane since it didn't start until a lil sooner then a month n a half on the med, n I haven't made any other changes.
Avatar n tn I was told to continue using 2 types of contracption 1 month after stopping taking accutane. I know it is over a year since I stopped taking accutane but am worried because I know the affects can be very bad for the baby. Do you have any information on this and do you think my baby will be ok? I am only 1 month pregnant.
Avatar m tn and then i read the accutane warnings again and i noticed it says you should take birth control pills a month before going on accutane and of course i didn't do that cause i didn't know i was supposed to do that... am i likely to be pregnant? i'm 19 years old. and i think we had sex without a condom on october 13 and october 16. and i'm taking Minesse pills, they are combination pills..
Avatar f tn I was on Accutane for nearly 8 months instead of the standard 5 month treatment. During the last 2-3 months of treatment, I began telling my doctor about pain in my stomach. He said it wasn't a problem and would resolve when I was done taking the drug. Well, I have been off of Accutane nearly a year, and am still having digestive problems, which I've never had before. I have had PERFECT digestion my whole life until this.
Avatar m tn What you are having are side effects of the drug Accutane and when you are taking Accutane, you should avoid going out in the sun. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn Hi, I had been on accutane for almost two months (60 mg a day). In the first month I had some headaches and dizziness but it wasn't a big deal. But, a couple weeks into the second month I started having really, really awful pounding pressuring headaches with really bad eye pain and dizziness. It hurt to move my eyes around and I had some difficulty focusing and changing my focus.
Avatar n tn OK. So you are saying that the drug will be cleared from system (within a month ) after ending treatment with the drug. Now while doing research on this topic I saw that you should not use any treatments which may irritate the skin such as microdermabrasion, laser hair removal or even waxing for hair removal for 6 months following the use of accutane. Now if this be the case, how is it that pregnancy after 1 month is safe but microdermabrasion is not??
Avatar m tn hi i am 21 year old , i have hypothyroidism caused by hishmoto when i was 15 year old i had acne then i went to pharmacist to ask hem medication to treat my problem ( idid mistake) any way he gave me medication that affect my vision and my concentration then i stopped to take it after just 3 days .
Avatar f tn I just started my sixth (and final) month of Accutane (60 mg/day). Per the information in the iPledge booklet, I should not have "cosmetic procedures" until I've been off of the medication for six months since the medication interferes with the skin's ability to heal which could cause keloid scarring. In my online research, I'm finding that some doctors say 6 months is acceptable, while others say wait a full year (I even came across one or two who said to wait two years).
Avatar n tn Hi, I have been on accutane for about alittle over a month. My dose is 20mg per day. I noticed about my fifth week using it that I developed a rash on the top of both my hands. It looks like little dots/pimples. They don't itch or burn. I thought it was ezema but I don't know. Is this a side effect from the accutane? Does anyone know how to treat this rash? I never had this before.
Avatar m tn I have been on Accutane ( Claravis) on 40 mg for a month, I was upped to 60 mg but just went back down do to side effects. My vision has gotten blurry in the distance and I recently visited my optometrist and told him this and that I was on the drug. He took a paper with all the visual side effects of Accutane and checked me for everything even threw in a glaucoma exam and tear producing test and said everything was normal.
Avatar f tn I know this is an old post but can you tell me if the problem is solved for you now, and how? I'm feeling exact same way 3 years after being on accutane. I have gone to my doctors so many times and he can't find what is wrong with me, and has absolutely no idea about the side effects of accutane. I'm 22 and it feels like I'm 60 years in my body. This is so bad..
