What is the most important information I should know about Accutane (isotretinoin)?
Accutane can cause serious side effects. Most of these side effects do subside in a few days or weeks after use of Accutane is ceased, but you should talk to your doctor if they last for more than a few weeks. Because some of Accutane’s more serious side effects show up in blood tests, some doctor visits may involve such tests. Your acne may get worse when you start using Accutane, so your doctor may have you use other medicines along with Accutane at the beginning of your treatment.
