When I worked at a blood bank any person that had taken accutane within the previous year was not allowed to donate blood, because of the risk of that blood being given to a pregnant woman. Of course the government is being extremely proactive in that matter, and like you, what I've read says to wait at least a month before conceiving. The baby will likely be fine, even though you didn't mean to conceive it was at a time that would have been permitted by her Dr.
Hi, I also am mom to a st jude patient. He is now 15. He had AML in 1994 and is doing extremely well. He is going through the acme stuff also. I would for sure ask his drs at St Judes about this. They should have some information for you about this. I am so proud that everytthing is going well for him. My son had a yr of treatment and a BMT , we met many other kids who had all so as he does and I remember the long treatment protocal for those kids.
Accutane was pulled off the market in 2009. I find it alarming that this drug is back on the market again. Accutane side effects include Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) which include Accutane induced Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis; Having your colon removed; Severe depression or suicidal tendencies; Heart attack, stroke, seizure or lowered blood cell count.
And there are many other side effects of Accutane mentioned in many comments online and includes joint pain.
I got a pimple and some cystic acne spots. It usually precedes a breakout. I am going to try and get on accutane. Does it cause scars? Should I let the spots heal first or should I get on accutane immediately?
I have literally tried everything you can imagine. Diets, low glycemic, multi vitamin, salads, low carb, you name it. Cut out all flour and sugar. I get temporary relief and it comes back. I would give a testicle to get away from acne.
Once a month or so i get a acne facial that is where they drain your pours so there is no bacteria in them, thats where acne comes from your blocked pours. and then they get inflamed. Let me know if you got the email. Really it has been a god send for me.
I will go into more detail when you recieve this. if you want oh i am taking 100mg a day in the morning.
Hey, how is this going? Accutane is hard to take. I'm aware. Head pain is listed as a side effect along with a host of other things. It can cause neck ache as well which leads to a tension headache. What did you end up doing? I wonder if there is an alternative to Accutane you could try!
If so and it came back back neg, then you must have just gotten it in the last 14 months. So I am sure your liver is in good shape, it takes a long time for liver damage to set in. Be sure to go to a specialist and get some answers. And yes there is a cure? I would make sure they did more follow up and it wasn't a false positive. Good Luck...
3) Although I have no opinion about it, I know some people think this next thing could lead to depression. I took Accutane twice. Once as a sophmore in high school. It went well with no side effects. Freshman year of college, my acne was back and I went on Accutane again. This time, I had several symptoms. The worst probably being extreme hair loss. I couldn't brush my hair because huge clumps would fall out.
I am 20 years old I was using accutane for 6 months, I was supposed to have a small surgery in my pelvis while on the drug but my doctor told me to wait and he explained that no surgery should be performed because the drug does indeed interfere with wound healing in fact he recommended to get the surgery 6 months after I have been off the drug but you should definitely ask her doctor/surgeon about it and get a better opinion ...wish you and your daughter the best.
I have a sore throat that comes and goes, I feel very tired and sleepy even after a full nights rest, my tummy feels like something is moving or fluttering inside, I feel feverish but have normal temperature, my butt is itchy, I just feel like crap in general. I've felt like this since June. I went to the doctors and was told that nothing was wrong except that I had very low levels of Iron. I was prescribed iron pills, a spray for my throat and pain killers but I still feel the same.
the thing about the tablet form is that tablets are not easily digested in the body. the did tests in NY awhile back and the studies show that the body does not usually break down vitamin tablets completely. They found tablets that had only partially been broken down before finding their way to the sewer system.
I think as long as your body can actually get in the nutrients that you will be fine. if you crunch it up then your body can get to and break down what is left of the tablet.
For example, how commonly has it been reported? Is it dose or length of dosage dependent? What evidence is there that this is a possibility? Have you encountered any of your pediatric patients who may have suffered from this?
Do you personally feel there is any truth to this apparent side effect?
I hope you appreciate my concerns and can reply further with further details, if you have any.
To my knowledge, there is no specific contraindication to the use of accutane in patients with MS. To my knowledge, accutane does not have drug interactions with the other medications that you are on. As a patient with MS, you can expect to have the same risks and side effects as other people on accutane, and these side effects and risks need to be discussed with you by your dermatologist before you start taking it.
