Everything You Know About Isotretinoin (Accutane)

Precautions

Hold your horses! Men, isotretinoin isn't always the right choice! It's going to be unsafe when you've got something like asthma, high cholesterol, diabetes, IBD, heart disease, liver disease, or osteoporosis. Your doc knows this, so make sure you talk about it! Men, mental illnesses make this med unsafe too. You've got to go over everything in your medical history. Everything, absolutely everything! Also, you can't take it when you're younger than 12. But you knew that!

You avoid a lot, though. Men, you don't need to worry about the issues this med has with women and pregnancy. Amazing! The best! But wait, you've still got some precautions. Take the tablets whole with a full glass of water. Talk about taking it with some food with your doc. And remember, men, you've got to fill your prescription within a week. No longer! You'll get a 30-day supply. Obviously, be ready, so ready, for regular blood tests on this med.
