In the other case, the patient actually developed night blindness after starting on a low dose (20 mg) isotretinoin. He had CF but liver problems as well. His vitamin A levels should have been monitored here.
Here are some cases in which you should not use isotretinoin (this list is not comprehensive):
liver problems
high levels of vitamin A in the blood
high lipid (fat) levels in the blood
kidney problems
You also want to weigh the risks and benefits of taking this drug with:
osteoporosis or other bone disorders
anorexia
a family history of diabetes
*depression* (this drug can cause and worsen underlying depression)
Your doctor and pharmacist should know more about this, though. I hope this helped!
I also just had a check up at the CF clinic and my PFT's have gone up considerably. I can't say that it is due to the Accutane, but I have to wonder.
