Epilepsy and acne

2017-12-28 23:02:59
Note:I’ve been taking keppra 500 mg for more than 5 years now because of epilepsy. So I this bad problem because of acne, i tried all kind of face wash and Home recipes but it's still there. i really need to get rid of my acne forever!! so I thought about going to a doctor to ask about “reaccutane”, it’s really good for curing acne as I’ve seen on my friends, and the result was amazing, so can you please tell me what do you think and if there’s an interaction between keppra and accutane?

hello.... keppra and reaccutane do not have any significant interactions and so can be taken together if required. but before starting reaccutane you need to check with your dermatologist whether you need it or not. reaccutane is only prescribed for moderate to severe acne, so do check with your dermatologist.
