Should I stop taking Roaccutane because of high cholesterol? What happens if I stop taking the medication after only 4 months

Asked By:Rama khaled in Abbeyville, Colorado

When I started the treatment my previous tests were normal but after about a month during my second tests I found that my cholesterol rose to 222mg/dl knowing that I am committed to a healthy lifestyle and walk 10k steps during the day . I have finished my fourth month today so I did the tests but the cholesterol became 258.1 I have an appointment with the doctor and I am afraid that she will stop the medications my skin looks great now but is it possible that a period of 4 months is enough?
