Accutane Roche Dosage Forum Discussion
User1234: Hi everyone! I've just started on Accutane Roche for my severe acne. My dermatologist prescribed me 20 mg twice a day but I'm a bit nervous about the dosage. Has anyone else been on this dose? How did you cope with side effects?
SkinClear987: Hey User1234! Yes, I was also initially prescribed that same dosage and it worked wonders for my acne. Side effects were manageable – mostly dry skin and lips. Make sure to use a good moisturizer and lip balm.
GlowGetter65: Hi there! My doctor started me on 10 mg per day and gradually increased it to 20 mg twice daily over the course of several weeks. This gradual approach helped my body adjust better, and I didn’t have as many side effects as some others I've seen online.
User1234: Thank you both for your responses! GlowGetter65, did you experience any major side effects even with the gradual increase?
GlowGetter65: Not really. The most significant was dry skin and occasional joint pain, but that's pretty normal. My doctor advised me to stay hydrated, use a lot of moisturizer, and avoid alcohol or caffeine for the first couple of weeks.
SkinClear987: Also, don't forget about your blood tests! Accutane can affect liver function, so regular monitoring is crucial. Make sure you're keeping up with all appointments and follow-ups to monitor any potential side effects.
User1234: Thanks for the reminder, SkinClear987. I’ll definitely make note of that. Do you guys have any tips on how to deal with dry skin without compromising the effectiveness of the treatment?
GlowGetter65: Absolutely! I found a really good non-comedogenic moisturizer and applied it several times a day. Using a humidifier at night helped too, especially if your room gets very dry.
SkinClear987: And don’t forget sunscreen during the day; Accutane can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning!
User1234: Great tips! I’ll start implementing these right away. One last question – how long did it take for you both to see significant improvements in your acne?
GlowGetter65: It took about four to six weeks before I really saw a noticeable difference. Keep in mind that the results vary from person to person, so patience is key!
SkinClear987: Same here! My skin cleared up considerably within two months. But remember, it’s important to continue with the full course even after your acne starts improving.
User1234: Thanks so much for all the advice and encouragement, GlowGetter65 and SkinClear987. I’m feeling more confident about starting this treatment now!
GlowGetter65: You’re welcome! Remember to stay in touch with your dermatologist regularly and follow their guidance closely.
SkinClear987: Absolutely, User1234. Wishing you all the best on your journey to clearer skin!
