Does isotretinoin cause heart problems
I have been taking isotretinoin for acne since the last 4 days...today morning I woke up with discomfort in the chest(heart side)...is it possibly due to taking this drug??...should I stop its usage...I read on the internet that some studies have shown that isotretinoin could possibly increase heart and liver problems.
