Doctors say when Accutane is administered correctly the results will show. Well, not for my case. I ingested a lot of fat with each pill. I eat 'ate' really well on Accutane. I did everything right and so did my doctor. But the acne came back, please tell me the success rate 2nd time around, is there a marked success rate 2nd time around? Why did it not keep my skin under control? Despite environment/stress. I've cut out dairy, booze and caffeine from the diet. Done birth control, done it all.

I agree with the previous answer that sometimes patients need a longer course of Accutane. And I also have seen patients who have not gotten real clearing until the last month.Discuss this with your practitioner and let them know your feelings.
Please do not do either while on accutane, and if you do, please stop the medication for the time you are doing it. Both can increase your skin of liver issues and sun burn/sensitivity. Best, Dr. Emer.
This is a question you must direct to your insurance company.Every company has different plans and approves different medications.Sometimes you require pre-authorization for Accutane but the questions you are asking here cannot be answered by a practitioner.
