I know the half-life of doxycycline is slightly less than 24 hours so it should theoretically be out of your system within 5-6 days, but I am concerned because the half-life of accutane is also around 24 hours but accutane patients are prohibited from getting pregnant 1-2 months after their last accutane pill, which makes me wonder whether a similar time frame is needed between stopping doxycycline and starting accutane? (Especially regarding intracranial hypertension and liver problems).
I have severe acne on back, my back is full of acne but my face has less acne i.e 1-2 acne in week should I go on take accutane? I have acne since 14 i took almost every medicine but nothing worked. Products improved my face acne but my back acne is becoming worse day by day? Should i go on accutane? Or it is only for face?I also have acne and blackheads on face but lesser than my back. Also is the effect of accutane on our liver is dangerous for long term and will it cause problems in future on my liver or it will be gone when treatment completed?
I'm well aware I've made a mistake. I take one pill twice a day, I believe that's a 40 miligram dosage. I've been drinking three times this week, once two days in a row, and the other three days before that. Each time I drank I'd approximate my consumption to be about 6 hard shots total, except the last time which was 12. Thats 3 total times. I've been drinking a lot of water and keeping off the alc. I'm very paranoid about liver damage, what can I do and should I be worried?
My acne problems have gotten progressively worse over the past 5 years. Ive tried so many different treatments that my skin just feels irritated and tired nowadays. I didnt hesitate when the derm suggested I start a 6 month cycle of Accutane, but now that Im taking it, Ive been doing a lot of research online (I know I shouldve researched beforehand). Ive seen horrifying stories about Long term damage like eyesight and liver damage! Im already 11 pills in and would hate to quit. Help!
I started lifting about 1 month ago and I was wondering if I could take protein shakes and startt using creatine daily or will it affect my overall hea;th. Some people made correlations between creatine and liver damage. Is this safe or should I avoid creatine and other supplements? Please help, thank you !
female, 24 My dermatologist put me on accutane 4 months ago, i should mention that im also on keppra 500 mg and topamax 50 mg, i started my first month with 40 mg a day, then dropped to 20 mg a day the following months, my blood tests seemed fine except for my last one i did yesterday, my ALT level went up to a 113 U/L, i went to see my doctor and she stopped the accutane immediately, my face is not where i want it to be, should i really be worried and stop or should i continue my accutane treatment :(?
I'm 110lbs and was just given 40mg Accutane from my GP (no derm in my area) I took it 8 years ago, it worked but I feel that it has affected my liver as if I drink(which is occasionally) I get an awful hungover the next day from just one or two drinks (I always eat before drinking). This makes me scared to take this medication again as I worry I may cause more damage. I am waiting on my blood work before I go ahead with my prescription. Should I take liver support supplements and if so what?
I am on accutane 50mg.It is been 3months now and I am scared that causes my liver .I would like to know if I need to take victamin C to protect my liver. Also I would like to know what medcines should i avoid while accutane. For last question I have cold so I want to know if I can take paracetamol and chlorhydrate pseudoephedrine with accutane .thank you
After 1 month of taking accutane, my blood test was a little high for my liver. I've been trying to drink beet juice every day to help nourish my liver. I'm thinking of trying this olive oil with lemon juice cleanse I read on the internet. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
My daughter went on accutane and within 2 weeks her liver enzymes went to 39. She was taken off the medication and her enzyme level continued to go up to 55. After 4 weeks it has now started to track down and is currently back at 39. It was at 17 prior to taking the medication. Could she take milk thistle and possibly go back on accutane? Can she take milk thistle while on the medication? If she can't go back on accutane, what other options would you recommend. Thank you for your time.
