Isotretinoin 20

2025-04-14 18:36:27
So, i have been prescribed isotretinoin by my dermatologist for my acne. I don't have really severe acne but there's been a few spots on my cheek where there has been some acne constantly for 7 months now and also have left PIH. I read this medicine causes depression as its side effects. I am someone who is prone to mood swings and anxiety and some depression episodes as well. Should I take this medicine in that case or not ?
