Acne Drug Accutane Side Effects

Adverse effects
Most adverse effects resemble vitamin A toxicity. Adverse drug reactions associated with isotretinoin therapy include:

Common: mild acne flare, dryness of skin, lips and mucous membranes, cheilitis, itch, skin fragility, skin peeling, rash, flushing, photosensitivity, nose bleeds, dry eyes, eye irritation, conjunctivitis, reduced tolerance to contact lenses, hyperlipidaemia, raised liver enzymes, headaches, hair thinning, myalgia and/or arthralgia.

Infrequent: severe acne flare, raised blood glucose level, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fatigue and/or mood changes.

Rare: impaired night vision, cataracts, optic neuritis, menstrual disturbances, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, hepatitis, corneal opacities, papilloedema, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, skeletal hyperostosis, extraosseous calcification, mood changes including depression.

The following adverse effects have been reported to persist, even after discontinuing therapy: alopecia (hair loss), arthralgias, decreased night vision, degenerative disc disease, keloids, bone disease. High dosages of isotretinoin have been reported to cause rosacea (a disease of severe facial skin redness and irritation).

While vitamin E supplements have been advocated by some to reduce the toxicity of high-dose retinoids without reducing drug efficacy, it does not appear to be effective.

Patients receiving isotretinoin therapy are not permitted to donate blood during and for at least one month after discontinuation of isotretinoin therapy due to reported birth defects to unborn children.

Teratogenicity
Isotretinoin is a teratogen and is highly likely to cause birth defects if taken during pregnancy. Isotretinoin is classified as FDA Pregnancy Category X and ADEC Category X, and use is contraindicated in pregnancy.

The manufacturer recommends that pregnancy be excluded in female patients two weeks prior to commencement of isotretinoin, and that they should use effective contraception (sometimes two simultaneous forms are recommended) at least one month prior to commencement, during, and for at least one month following isotretinoin therapy.

In the U.S. more than 2,000 women have become pregnant while taking the drug between 1982 and 2003, with most pregnancies ending in abortion or miscarriage. About 160 babies with birth defects were born. Consequently, the iPLEDGE program was introduced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on 12 August 2005 in an attempt to ensure that female patients receiving isotretinoin do not become pregnant – as of 1 March 2006, only prescribers registered and activated in iPLEDGE are able to prescribe isotretinoin, and only patients registered and qualified in iPLEDGE will be able to have isotretinoin dispensed.

A powerful yet gentle solution for stubborn acne breakouts and acne cysts that have not been amenable to other treatments.

This acne cream, like no other natural acne product, achieves astonishing results for stubborn acne and recurrent acne cysts. Feel and see the effects of the synergy of our biological serum with the most potent botanicals:

a) Inca Inchi Oil, the world’s richest vegetable oil in Omega-3 fatty acids. A powerful anti-inflammatory with the ability to correct the deficit of linoleic acid in hair follicles which is a trigger of immoderate inflammatory reactions from our immune system. This natural substance reduces pore-clogging sebum production and sebum hardening;

b) Helix Aspersa Müller Glycoconjugates. The miraculous serum from a living creature with skin similar to human skin which never suffers from skin infections; acts as an effective adaptogen, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, trigger of skin repair and skin regeneration, and enzyme dissolver of blocked pores;

c) Licorice Root Extract. An antimicrobial that acts against acne bacteria; anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, antioxidant, and an inhibitor of sebum production;

d) Alpine Willow herb extract (Epilobium Fleischeri). A botanical, non-chemical source of keratolytic salicylic acid, and an antimicrobial;

e) Essential oil from the roots of Coleus Forskohliiwith strong antimicrobial activity and a strong medicinal smell that lasts about 20 minutes.

The smell is a small price to pay for an essential component of BIOSKINFORTE. The smell is nothing -- nada -- compared to the beneficial effects for your skin. BIOSKINFORTE is the strongest treatment that effectively heals and contains acne breakouts without any side effects. Brave the smell and your skin will thank you.

f) Hyaluronic Acid. A glycosaminoglycan (also present in the snail serum) that deeply moisturizes the skin and restores the capacity of the skin to retain water;

g) An extract from the fruit of black pepper which enhances the penetration of the active ingredients.

Apply a little of this acne cream twice a day on all the areas of your body affected by acne cysts or stubborn pimples (face, chest or back).
