Acne Problem
Hi, I have acne issue from past few years and I recently visited a dermatologist and she had given a medicine which is Acutret 30mg - Isotretinoin tablet for 6 weeks for now. I read on the medicine and it's side effects which made me panic and feared to use the medicine. Please advise if it's advisable to take the medicine and will there be any side effects in future like infertility or any major health issues. Along with that I have also got few day and night creams.
Also the doctor is a well known dermatologist and she has been suggesting this medicine to most of her patients.
I'm 27 and unmarried I'm planning to get married in the next 6 to 8 months, will this tablet affect my health later or in the future?
Also as per her suggestion I have taken few blood tests and also I am attaching the prescription for your perusal.
Please do help me out on advising if I can take the medicine or not.
Thanks,
Sumantha
