Hi,
Accutane or tretinoin has been used to treat severe forms or nodular forms of acne. However, its drug interactions and the various adverse effects that entail with its use in some patients may require close supervision when using this drug.
Do not self medicate. Inform you dermatologist about this. A complete evaluation of your acne problem is necessary. Other options may be available for acne treatment. The severity and extent of your acne has to be considered here. There are certain factors to consider when using accutane. This includes pregnancy , use of other medications and psychiatric side effects
