Forum Topic: Accutane Pharmacy Canada


Sunshine92: Hey guys, I've been dealing with severe acne for years now. My dermatologist recently suggested trying Accutane. It's not available in my country, but I found some online pharmacies in Canada that offer it. Is this safe? Are there any risks involved?


DrSmoothie83: Hi Sunshine92! First of all, it’s great to hear you’re looking for a solution that might work for your acne. However, buying Accutane from an overseas pharmacy without a prescription from your doctor and proper medical supervision can be very risky. Here are some key points to consider:

  1. Safety & Efficacy: The effectiveness of the medication may vary based on its source.
  2. Side Effects: Accutane is known for potentially serious side effects, including birth defects if taken while pregnant.
  3. Prescription Required: This drug requires a prescription due to these risks.

Sunshine92: Thanks for your response, DrSmoothie83. I understand the risks but really want to try this treatment. Can you recommend any reputable pharmacies in Canada that might be able to help?


DrSmoothie83: Unfortunately, it’s not advisable to rely on online pharmacies outside your country, even if they claim to be reputable. Instead, you should seek a dermatologist who can prescribe Accutane legally and monitor its effects closely.

Here are some steps you could take:

  1. Consult Your Doctor: Discuss all concerns with your current dermatologist.
  2. Local Pharmacy Options: Find out if there’s any way to obtain the medication through legitimate pharmacies in your country.
  3. Telemedicine Services: Explore telemedicine platforms that connect you with licensed dermatologists who might prescribe Accutane.

BeautifyMySkin101: I've been on Accutane before, and it did wonders for my skin. But DrSmoothie83 is right about the risks. My doctor kept a close eye on me during treatment. Make sure you have regular check-ups if you go this route.


Sunshine92: Thanks BeautifyMySkin101! It’s good to hear from someone who has had success with Accutane. I’ll definitely talk to my dermatologist again and see what options are available locally before making any decisions online.


DrSmoothie83: That's the smart approach, Sunshine92. Always prioritize safety and consult with a healthcare professional for such treatments. Wishing you all the best on your journey towards clearer skin!


BeautifyMySkin101: Definitely! Good luck, and let us know if you have any more questions or updates after discussing it with your doctor.


Sunshine92: Will do, thanks both of you for your advice. Appreciate the support!
