Advanced acne medication is a very powerful and effective treatment, but it does have some serious potential risks. It can cause severe and long lasting damage to a patient’s health, which is why blood tests are critical and why the dosage must be prescribed by an experienced doctor. For women, the medication causes birth defects so they must not become pregnant while taking the medication and for several months after finishing it. There are no reproductive issues for men who take the treatment. The medication can cause changes in mood, and causes dryness to the membranes (skin, mouth, eyes, lips, etc.) and sensitivity to light. It can also cause serious health issues such as a spike in cholesterol, drop in Gamma GTs indicating you’ve developed a neutropenia, etc. Therefore, the dose must be balanced to keep these side effects bearable during the 5 – 7 month treatment cycle. Because of these risks and inconveniences, advanced acne medication is a treatment of last resort when a patient has exhausted other options such as over the counter treatments, oral and topical antibiotics. The key advantage of advanced acne medication is that it has an extremely high success rate in resolving acne that cannot be helped in any other way. Patients who complete the course tend to enjoy benefits lasting from several years to the rest of their lives.

By law, Isotretinoin is a Prescription Only Medication in the United Kingdom. That means you must be assessed by an experienced doctor, and have regular blood tests, regular check-ups and regular pregnancy tests (if applicable) before being issued a prescription. Any website that purports to sell Roaccutane, Accutane or generic Isotretinoin to a resident of the UK without a prescription is by definition breaking the law. If after paying your money you actually do receive tablets, the medication from such websites is either counterfeit or may have an unpredictable volume of active pharmaceutical. In any event, please, please don’t take a chance because the health and psychological repercussions could be serious and long term.
