Can isotretinoin cause high ESR?

Question

Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, MD · Answer

There have been reported cases of patients having elevated ESR (eosinophil sedimentation rate) while taking Isotretinoin.  This can be a marker for inflammation in the body and should be monitored closely by your provider.  Often a high ESR is associated with other symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue and muscle aches. You should be referred to your primary care doctor for further evaluation. Be sure to be under the care of a Board Certified Dermatologist.
