Accutane Side Effects - Accutane Raises Triglycerides and Cholesterol Levels
BIOSKINCARE™ is a biological skin care cream that when used while taking isotretinoin (Accutane®, RoAccutane®, Amnesteem®, Claravis®, Sotret®), relieves the SIDE EFFECTS that it has on the skin: scaling, lip inflammation and drying of the skin and mucous membranes. It also relieves skin peeling on eyelids and dry nasal passages and stregthenes the epidermis that otherwise becomes very thinn by the action of the drug.
And, you don't need to wait until you stop using isotretinoin to start treating acne scars. BIOSKINCARE™ CREAM prevents and heals scarring while you are on isotretinoin or on Minocycline (a tetracycline antibiotic) or on other antibiotics.
Accutane Raises Cholesterol & Triglyceride Levels
New research published in the August issue of the journal Archives of Dermatology has found that a popular acne drug appears to increase cholesterol and triglyceride levels in users more than previously thought.
A team of researchers from the University of California San Francisco found that isotretinoin -- sold as Roche AG's Accutane and also as a generic drug -- raised triglyceride fat levels in 44 percent of patients with previously normal levels, and also increased total cholesterol in 31 percent of users. According to the drug's label, previous trials had shown Accutane to raise triglycerides in 25 percent of patients, and increase cholesterol in just 7 percent of users.
The research team examined the medical records of 13,772 isotretinoin users in California between 1995 and 2002. The median age of users was 19, and the median length of treatment was 21 weeks.
"The incidence of abnormally high serum lipid levels during isotretinoin treatment may be greater than previously estimated," the researchers wrote.
Higher triglyceride and cholesterol levels can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as cause long-term health problems. Isotretinoin has also been linked to birth defects, and pregnant women are screened out before the drug is prescribed.
"This is yet another example of an unintended, but clearly harmful, side effect of a popular drug," explained Mike Adams, consumer health advocate. "The truth is that all drugs have unintended side effects, largely because they are incapable of targeting specific tissues and tend to run rampant throughout the entire body," he added.
Roche spokesperson Shelley Rosenstock recommends that doctors "consider the risk/benefit for patients for whom elevated lipid levels present a high risk," and that those who prescribe the drug have already been asked to monitor fat levels in patients before and during treatment.
"The sad truth is that most doctors will probably prescribe statin drugs to treat the side effect caused by isotretinoin," said Adams, "initiating an endless chain of treating the side effects of one drug with another drug that causes yet more side effects."

What our customers say and recommend.
Hello, This is my second order from your company as I am convinced that I cannot live without your product. Let me explain:
From age 16 to age 27 I had severe, unrelenting acne and like many of your customers I tried everything. Every anti-biotic, every topical lotion and cream, every diet and skin care regime. Nothing worked until finally I tried Accutane®. That finally worked but the side effects and cost were daunting.
But after 11 years of acne my self esteem was so wrecked and I was so desperate that I would have walked a mile barefoot on broken glass if I thought it would help. Well here I am now at age 37 and I have been suffering, again, from increasingly worse acne over the last year. I was devastated. I am a veteran of that particular war and could not bear the thought of fighting it again. And let me tell you it is almost worse for my self esteem now than it was as a young adult. It is at least somewhat understandable for a teenager to have it but for someone approaching middle age it just is not right. I feel like people are looking at me like I have a disease. All those terrible memories of not even being able to leave the house for a brief errand without doing the full course of make-up have come crashing back because I am living them again. Having been down that road I know what works and what does not so I knew that none of the conventional wisdom or treatments are worth much at all when it comes to acne.
Accutane® works but besides the afore mentioned cost and side effects, you have to wait for years after the treatment to have any kind of scar removal surgery.
Since using your product my skin has improved fantastically. From the very first application it just looked better, being more smooth and having a bit of a glow. The outbreaks of acne are getting less and less each week and some of the lesser scars are looking more smooth. I hope your product will help with scarring but some of it in my temples and the hollows of my cheeks is probably just to severe. However the rest of my face is looking pretty good for scar improvement.
But the real and pronounced benefit is the extreme reduction of acne. I know for a fact that the cream is keeping it under control and I can have my life back again without my every activity being dictated by this condition. All I can say to anyone who is considering buying this product is DO IT NOW! The sooner you start the sooner you will be looking good. It really works without the nasty side effects and cost of a lot of treatments I have tried. It is so refreshing and just about stunning to find a product that actually does what it says. So many companies are experts at telling carefully crafted lies about their products to get people to buy them but not very competent at all about producing a worthy product.
Your company really does have something legitimate to sell; something that truly benefits people. Keep up the good work! Laurel Peters. Colorado, USA.
