Proof that your Roaccutane therapy is functioning ordinarily is the expected appearance of side effects. You may experience more or less of the potential side effects. Side effect is a typical segment of the curing period. In the first weeks acne usually become worse. It is important to note that means progress too. Always have on your mind that it is natural for your condition to become even less comfortable in order to get more effective.
Roaccutane with it's active ingredient isotretinoin is used for maintaining skin clean during a longer time period afterward applying the needed dose. Secreting sebum (oil) in blocked glandulae sebaceae leads to the blackheads and/or whitehead appear on the skin. Isotretinoin reduces their number and also calms face redness caused by pimples. Patient will likely have some short term side effects depending on person's age, sex, dosage and negligible personal qualities. However, in almost all cases Roaccutane therapy is worth of effort side and effects won't make such difficulties if you particularly stick to pharmacist's recommendations or doctor's personal advices.
The most common and annoying Roaccutane therapy side effect is skin dryness, usually it frightens patients before the treatment but bad side effects are actually a good signs of a drug therapy progress. So it does have sense to suffer during a brief period due to cure your chronic acne. In rare cases Accutane users have experienced muscle numbness and pain in the bones. For most patients this is not such a problem and they normally proceeded with the course because it's typical side effect of the Roaccutane. To avoid critical injury, especially frequent pain in lower back, you must pause or reduce physical workout in gym or at job. Stripping of the skin at palms, hair thinning and loss, nose and mouth bleeding, weight changes, skin diseases are rarely experienced but worth of mention Roaccutane side effects. Hair problems are more relevant to men than women.
Always have on your mind that rare side effects wont last when therapy has finished so don't be upset and contact your doctor if any dangerous effect appears. No matter Roaccutane provides time to clean skin, it is not a long lasting medication. After the Roaccutane therapy skin could remain without acne for a longer period (such as few months or years). In approximately 10% of cases users experience impairment after a year while 25% of them have same problem after 2 years pass. So you actually do have a high chance to get back acne. Positive side of that unwanted effect is that antibiotics could help you without using Accutane again. The often consumption of cosmetic applications may keep minor acne bursts in a healing phase.
