Dear Patient , Accutane or Isotretinoin as it is generically known is an excellent medicine for acne . The most common side effects noted with the drug include dryness of skin and lips . Prior to starting the drug your
lipid profile and
liver function tests should be done and checked . As with most other medications -accutane does have other side effects which are not so commonly observed if the right dose and proper monitoring is done . I hope this helps !
Next Steps
Moisturise your skin and use a lip balm to prevent the dryness .
Keep visiting your dermatologist once a month for better monitoring and results.
