If you have been diagnosed for the Accutane acne treatment the most important thing is not to panic. If you have a specialist that is taking care of you he might have already discussed and pointed out all of the risks related to the Accutane treatment with you.

It should be mentioned that Accutane is a fast acne treatment that helps you to see the result within a month or two depending on the skin you have. Accutane dries up the oil in the sebaceous gland that usually causes the acne appearance.

Like any other drug Accutane does have side-effects that can be revealed after the 1 week of treatment. These side-effects include: dried lips, skin and nose, nosebleed and irritated eyes and eyelids. But don’t worry – those things could be easily removed by the Vitamin C consumption doze and a good non-oily moisturizer, preferably from a trustworthy brand.

It is important to remember that it is better not think about pregnancy with Accutane treatment. It is the same for both men and women.

If you are a woman that has been prescribed Accutane you need to take a few pregnancy tests , upon which you will have to sign a waiver ( if you are pregnant ) stating that you do understand all of the possible risks and the case of abortion ( if needed).

The best protection should come from taking 3 measures - pill, patch or shot, then foam or lubricant plus a condom and so on.

Accutane can cause you liver problems, headaches, depressed feelings and bad night vision. Usually the doctor keeps an eye on the patients that are depression inclined as sometimes cases lead to suicidal.
These symptoms are not a “must” therefore you should not be scared, more important is to just be aware of those.

Now back to some good stuff: Accutane’s doesn’t stop working after you quit taking it. After a few months you will still be able to see the result. But remember, the best thing to do is just to be careful with it before signing up for Accutane acne treatment as it is still a drug.
