Dear doctors thank you for giving us some of your time I really appreciate it I'm female 28 y taken accutan I just started my third month I did blood work yesterday and I found my cholesterol serum up to 244 my/dl / high. Is it ok with accurate? Do I need to do something ? Btw I have IBS / GORD. So I'm on a healthy diet it doesn't include any bad oil or heavy fat Also accutane made my vagina dray Will it go back to how it was after ? Thank you all
I have high cholesterol, (6.5-7.5) it's genetic, I am active, healthy weight, aged 40 - not currently on statins. Is it true that Accutane will likely increase my cholesterol further and that approx 80% of candidates return to their normal levels post treatment, so not the case for all. Does this rule out this treatment option for me? Research Paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5958563/
I recently did a blood test at my local doctors and my testosterone came back fine as well as my triglycerides and HDL but my total cholesterol came back just slightly above average and same for my LDL, how much can you go over before being denied Accutane?
Is this because I ate a lot of egg yolks and fast food the night before the blood test?or is it from the medicine ? If from the medicine what can I do because I really want my acnes gone
I am 24 male (6ft, 190 lbs) with relatively high cholesterol levels. Is accutane out of the questions when it comes to clearing my back and facial acne? Blood tests (LDL: 152, Cholesterol: 264, Triglyceride: 321) Thanks!
I am 23 female. I took my first blood test Im worried bc i checked my lab results and my total cholesterol came back 6.26 mmol/L LDL at 4.15 mmol/L, Triglycerides at 0.88 mmol/L, HDL at 1.71 mmol/L pls put my mind at ease that I will still be okay to go on it I am so desperate and I know that the reason of this high cholesterol is bc I have been very anxious and not eating or drinking enough bc of my skin affecting me mentally I dont even go outside anymore
I am a 26 year old female. My husband has been fixed. And we havent been sexually active in over a month due to the fact I dont know whats happening with my period. I have a regular menstral cycle. I am on 60mg of accutane. I am not pregnant. I am almost 2 months with no period. What could be going on? I should also mention my good cholesterol has been increasing for some time now. My last blood test showed my Hdl to be 9.6 and my alannine transfosferate to be 40. Would that play any factor
Hi, I am on my second round of accutane (brand acnetrex). My first round worked wonders. However, I quickly relapsed. I broke out badly on my second round until it stopped recently. I am 5 months into my second round (5g to 20g to 30g a day) and got my blood test results back. My LDL is high at 135, but the reference interval for optimal is below 130. During my first round, derma A was not concerned. Now on my second round, derma B wants to taper my dosage down to 20g. Who is right?
