I was just prescribed oratane and told to use Yaz the birth control with it. Is this a good idea? I just researched Yaz and extremely worried about the side effects of it. Can I just use Oratane without the birth control
My son has been taking Oratane for over 3 months its was worse than when we had first started. His lips are dry, headaches and depression. If I could go back we would have asked just for a antibiotic instead, now that specialist has put him on that to and tried to put him on steroids as well. He said no way to steroids, he said I don't want to be like "ooh my acne's disappeared and so has my balls "
Oratane is a generic and cheaper version of your above mentioned medications. So the effects are the same as these whilst on Oratane. I have been using it for 6 weeks now and my acne has not improved as it takes about 8 to 10 weeks to clear up. My mom is a doctor and she prescribed Oratane to me. I am experiencing all of the negative side effects; cracked lips, dry skin and eyes, sunburn, etc. Keep on taking it. Results will show soon!!!

It's too soon to see any improvement about your face. I used Roaccutane for 12 months, with a high-dose (started with 40-60 milligrams a day) and It took to make progress about 5-6 months. Now I have a way better face. The best thing that you should do for now, take your medicines in time, and listen your doctor.
since you've finish your course, was there any acne scarring and if there was, what measures did you take on clearing them.

I'm on oratanes its only a month and my fface is so bad .last week it ws clear then I ate chocolate yoh I'm very patient I'm on a six month course I take Mminerva and 40 ml of oratates a day .
iv just started talking 100mg oratane and i dont feel anything yet
I have started using Oratane (20 mg per day) for 16 days . My doctor said the acne would break out in the first week & then start to dry and get better, but actually it has got worse after these 16 days.. should I be more patient? cause I was wondering if the reason of getting worse was that I drank too much coffee in the last 4 days. Does coffee affect acne during the use of oratane? Does oratane have to be taken at a special fixed time every day?
I've been on oratane for 5 months but no results I have lost all hope
Hello dollbird! I am currently on Oratane. I had also tryed contraspeptives and another anti biotic before I started this, you can ask your doctor to prescribe you and im most circumstances they will allow it. This is what I did.
Can you ask your doctor to prescribe oratane for you, or does he have to see that for himself? I have tried everything, even contraceptives!
Hey, I've just started my second month of oratane, I'm on a four month course and I take 60mg a day. My skin got so clear within a week of starting, and then steadily got worse, but being patient, I waited and its started clearing up again. I do have some scars from when I started the treatment, but I'm not worried, there are so many creams I can use if they don't fade. Think about it this way, its X amount of months (how ever many months you were prescribed) until your skin is clear, compared to not starting the oratane and having bad skin indefinitely. Be patient, use a very mild face wash and a really hydrating cream. I use galderma, it works so well. As for make up, you can still wear it, but don't pile it on obviously, I specifically asked my doc about that. Hope this helps :)
Hi, I am also currently on oratane for 1.5 weeks. Improvement is very slow, and i have breakouts in the initial 1st month. And now it still pop out at times, but did not grow till very big, i think oratane sort of control it.
I still keeping my fingers crossed. And i really hope my acne problems can be solved.
I've been on oratane for the past 5 months. I just completed the course. My skin is now acne free, so yes it worked for me. The side effects are there, it got worse in the first month or so but then it cleared and now I'm fine. , the dryiness of lips, and eyes. But I used eyedrops and bepanthen for my lips. I think its worth it, it just needs patience and perseverance. I had tried everything else so I had nothing to lose. I just hope the acne does not come back, but if it does, I'll do this all over again
is there anyone that has taken this medication and can say that it has definately improved their skin problem?
Hi Zaeema,
Smoking tobacco will not interfere with the way Accutane works to shrink the sebaceous glands. Smoking also does not affect acne in general, since over-acted sebaceous glands are caused by high levels of androgens (hormones) not diet or general health.
You will have your cholesterol levels monitored whilst on Accutane and smoking tobacco can raise cholesterol levels. So if you have raised cholesterol you should follow a low-cholesterol diet and give up smoking whilst on Accutane.
Accutane patients should not smoke marijuana during treatment, as Accutane can rarely cause mental health problems, which can be worsened by marijuana.
Best Wishes, Eloise.
