Hi!! I am loving your videos. I started watching yesterday and it has helped me a lot with my questions. I would like to ask you - Does people who have ANA positive can take accurate? Ana is positive, but lupus didn’t develop (scared of it developing after the medication). Thank you!!
I've been on Accutane for two months now and my doctor recommended me to start with a lower dose so she can see how I react to it. So I started with a dose of 20 mg, and after a month I increased the dose to 30 mg, which is what I needed. Will that be a problem for full results because I haven't started with needed dose? Thanks❤
Hello! Good Q; no, not a problem for full results. It may take you a little bit longer to get to your cumulative goal dose but that’s okay as long as the total is the same!
I did not watch the video yet. I am a Dermatologist. Generally, the suggested cumulative dose is one milligram for every kilogram you weigh for five months. (Body weight in pounds divided by 2.2 equals body weight in kilograms). It doesn't have to be at a certain dose from the start, but added up over time. e.g.: a total dose of 10,500 milligrams of accutane for a 70 kilogram patient.
Hi I’m thinking about going on accutane but have so many questions and uncertainty about many things. What is the age to get accutane? Does accutane cause weight gain? Does accutane affect growth? Does accutane contain steroids ?plsss help and advice
Thank you so much for this very informative video! I’ve been watching most of your videos, especially those that are Accutane-related. I used to have clear and smooth skin before, but now I’m suffering from hormonal acne (huge factor are stress weather since I moved to another country). I have taken 3 rounds of Minocycline and topical gel (Tretinoin), which helped clean my skin for a few months, but acne comes back after. 😭 I have decided to try Accutane, so I did my blood work today, and will start my Accutane journey soon. However, since you and other dermatologists mentioned that Accutane cannot cure hormonal acne, it makes me wonder if taking Accutane will really help improve my skin, and whether hormonal acne is just a season or a permanent thing 🙁
Thank you for watching and for sharing your story! I do check all my patients for hormonal acne and try those medications first before accutane if I think hormones are the key underlying driver of the acne. Every patient is different so it really depends!
Hi! I just watched this video and read your comment and I’m really curious about how your accutane journey went. Did it help? And did your acne come back after you got off accutane? About to start myself. Thanks! ☺️
Great video! Been accutane for 6 weeks now, this was helpful.

Does Accutane affects blood pressure? And how many months usually can start Accutane after post delivery?
