Isotretinoin 20 mg capsules
I am on my second round of Isotretinoin 20 mg capsules. This time my lips are not dried and face is also little oily. Is it ok or is isotretinoin not effective this time?

Hello,
It is perfectly OK as we cannot judge the effect of the medicine only by lip dryness. Do followup with a qualified dermatologist in order to monitor the correct dosage of this medication, whether there is any need to increase the dose, as well as to check for side effects.
