Barrett's Esophagus and Accutane

Posted By Arty on July 06, 1998 at 14:11:41:







My 15 year old son was diagnosed with Barrett's recently.  He is taking Prilosec 20mg 2 times a day.  Also has an acne problem that his dermatologist wants to treat with Accutane since all otther meds and treatments have failed.  Neither Gastro or dermatologist will advise if any problems in taking accutane with his condition.  A PH Probe test was recently completed with results showing Prilosec controlling tha acid for 23 outt of 24 hrs.  Any problems with the Accutane. Should we watch for any specific symptoms.  All info will be appreciated.
Thank You
Arty
