Question

I took my last dose about 2 weeks ago I have notice that I have knee pain whenever I bend down to grab something it hurt so bad both of my knees is that a part of the Side effects should be worried about it? And how long does last to have the side effects after you done with your treatment? Or should I go see a doctor?

Isotretinoin may cause bone or muscle problems, including joint pain, muscle pain or stiffness.  You may get hurt more easily during rough sports and you may heal more slowly.  If you continue to have pain you might schedule an appointment with your primary care provider. Please remember to be under the care of a Board Certified Dermatologist.
