Common Questions and Answers about Accutane with milk

accutane

Avatar m tn i simply stopped drinking milk and went with almond milk. i stopped with soda and chips. i bought this semi expensive product called tanda its a blue light therapy. I dont now which one did it for me either the milk or the tanda but i beleive it is more milk than tanda. Milk has hormones and everytime i drank milk i would get these huge unsightly cysts. i am truly acne free. aother thing i recommend is getting a beard trimmer for your son.
Avatar m tn I heard the effectivesnees of accutane is increased with a twice daily dosage. True? I will be taking 40mg a day, once a day. Would it be better to take 20 mg twice a day? Also, is it ok to take glucosamine for my joints while on accutane? Lastly, should I be getting a monthly blood test? Or any other precautionary measures?
Avatar f tn I fear this drug has damaged my organs in some way, and have read that accutane/isotretinoin is associated with IBS. However, these are the only symptoms I'm having--and am hoping there might be another explanation for my symptoms. I'm scared. Is any of this reversible?

Avatar m tn since when I was young I used this medicine for my acne and I searched in the internet many have the same story with me - I mean using Isotretinoin (Accutane) and then Proctitis or Ulcerative Colitis. what is your idea ?
Avatar f tn t think there is any correlation with ANA and Raynauds. I know the fun that everyone has with Raynauds and my oldest daughter is one of them. One day while she was sitting in class the cold are from the vent above her caused her to have a "flare up". The school nurse had to wrap her in a blanket and take her out side to sit in the sun to warm up and stop the pain it was causing.
Avatar n tn I believe with all my heart that the Accutane is the cause of my problems. I have debilitating pain every day. I have been checked for rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Both were negative. I saw a Rheumatologist, and he remembers this being a problem in the past.
Avatar f tn I know this is an old post but can you tell me if the problems are 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 doesn't believe that I have really bad pain. He also has absolutely no idea about the side effects of accutane. I'm only 22 and it feels like I'm 60 years in my body. This is so bad..
Avatar n tn I experienced bad headaches when I started Accutane but, along with some of the other sides effects such as muscle pain, they decreased as my body got used to the medication. For dry lips I recommend Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream, it is much better than Vaseline. Eloise.
Avatar m tn I am currently in my fourth month of Accutane and have had very severe joint pains along with the common side effects. There was even a time when I worked a seven hour shift hosting at a restaurant and went home in so much pain from running around I got sick. My doctor never told me about that effect! Be sure to bring it up with your doctor if you are an athlete.
Avatar n tn Regarding the surgery for fibroadenoma, I would suggest you to discuss it with your daughter’s surgeon. Accutane may increase the chances of post surgery keloid formation and so I would suggest you to discuss this point with your daughter’s surgeon. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
Avatar n tn 17 year old daughter having stomach issues, just got a positive test for celiac, has bad acne, derm wants to put her on accutane. I am worried about the accutane and her stomach. Not sure celiac is only cause of stomach aches. Also birth control pill used to control acne, then she went off and it came back worse than ever. She is back on the pill for almost 3 months and it is not working. Why?
Avatar n tn Then the obvious, no smoking, drugs, drinking. No Accutane, if you are taking any acne medicine with a Vitamin A derivative. Then, dump the extra "empty calories," the sugars and carbs that you should stay away from anyway, and eat a really balanced diet of lean meats, fruits, veggies, milk. Stay away from fish that might have heavy metals. (Sometimes that is tricky. Wild-caught salmon from Alaska is a yes, farmed salmon from the Atlantic is a no.
Avatar n tn 20% of Accutane patients require a second or third course. You must wait 8 weeks between courses since acne can continue to clear during this time. If Retin-A does cause irritation try a gentler synthetic topical retinoid such as Differin (adapalene 0.1%) as this is very effective and generally well tolerated. See the Acne forum for more advice. Eloise.
546892 tn?1214525401 Before begining treatment with Accutain, an individual should discuss about his condition with the health care provider for the possible accutane benefits and side effects in order to get it clear whether the treatment is right. Accutain is used in the treatment of the severest of acne cases which haven't responded to all other types of acne treatments.
Avatar f tn I know better as I am writing this to you now I have pain and discomfort that is so intense it feels like I am dying.. I have a hard time with all sorts of foods too.. Anyways I was just curious about that Accutane and need more info on that to figure out rather or not I have a lead on my situation.. Thanks :) btw my ct scan w/ contrast showed I have IBD and the CT tech even said there is inflammatory bowel disease going on with me...
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm on accutane. This is my third time on it. I take 40 mg alternating 80 mg every other day. I've been taking it for 4 months now. After taking it for a month and a half I've been getting rashes on my face.. It is fleshed colored and doesn't itch. In the beginning I would use a steroid cream and it would go away very quickly but not anymore. I use cetaphil cream on my face twice daily. I have not changed and products that I use on my face, nor laundry detergent.
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 weight loss ( I was up to 160 right before accutane, lost 20-25 pounds in less than 2 months right after I stopped accutane, and am down to 120 currently) I feel like I have no muscle or fat on me. I'm always hungry but I can't gain a pound.
Avatar m tn I am very sorry to know about your experience with Accutane. As i mentioned back in 2011 i refrained from taking that medication. I stopped from going yo see dermatologist as it was little he could do to my problem. And to be honest i see them working little or almost none with ophthalmologists. at least looks this way where i live. i also notice that its been 4 years since this message was posted and doctor Hagan keeps with that annoying habit of using those equal signs after each message.
