@drsermedmezher: “Is Accutane Worth the Risk?” #acne Accutane (isotretinoin) is a powerful treatment for severe acne but comes with a range of potential side effects that users should be aware of. While it can be highly effective, it also affects the body in significant ways, especially due to its impact on oil glands and skin. Common side effects include extremely dry skin, chapped lips, dry eyes, and nosebleeds. Accutane can also cause joint pain, muscle aches, and sensitivity to the sun, making it essential to take extra precautions. More serious side effects include mood changes, liver strain, and elevated cholesterol levels, which is why patients on Accutane usually undergo regular blood tests and close monitoring by their doctors. For women, there’s also a high risk of birth defects if taken during pregnancy, so strict guidelines, like monthly pregnancy tests and mandatory contraception, are in place for those of childbearing age. Despite its effectiveness, Accutane’s side effects mean it’s generally reserved for cases where other acne treatments haven’t worked, and it requires careful consideration and supervision throughout the treatment. #skin #health #treatment
