I'm 23 Male. My Doctor prescribed me to take oral medications. I undergone through lab test and my cholesterol was quite high and she prescribed me to take isotretinoin on low dosage. She discussed with me the possible effect (common side effects). I searched in the internet about the possible side effect and I found out that there are some serious side effect of isotretinoin. Now, I am afraid take isotretinoin. I want to know how safe is isotretinoin?
