Sotret and Side effects

2020-05-27 19:44:57
I have been using sotret 20mg for the past 8 years, not continuously though but whenever I get an acne outbreak. Recently when I searched through the net for the side effects for long terms in men I’m scared to see this side effects erectile dysfunction, impotence, partial or complete loss of libido, genital anesthesia, anorgasmia, decreased and watery ejaculate. Should I stop using sotret? First comment really appreciated.
