Drug Uses
Accutane is a retinoid and is used to cure severe acne in people who do not respond to other pills. It can also be used for other conditions as recommended by your physician.
How Taken
Accutane comes in capsules taken with a full glass of clear water and with a meal. Do not break, crush, chew, or suck on the capsule before swallowing. For best results, you should take this medicine regularly.
Additional Information
Accutane can cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to this medicine. Take a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for prolonged time. Certain birth control pills (progestin-only pills, "mini pills") that don't contain estrogen may not be as effective while you are taking Accutane. Worsening of acne may occur during the first part of therapy. This doesn`t suggest failure or a need to stop the drug.
