Accutane Acne Treatment

When nothing works in the case of your skin affected by acne, you can try accutane as well, and you will see that it can give the best results. First of all you shouldn’t consult a dermatologist when your acne vulgaris developed into acne scars. So if you go to the doctor’s in due time, he can recommend you accutane, one of the best remedies in the case of acne. The dose recommended for accutane is the equivalent of the number of kilos you have got. For example if your weight is 60 kilos, you can take 60 mg of accutane. Accutane is nothing more than vitamin A, taken orally and it can be toxic if it is taken in un-adequate doses for those who have liver problems, and it can lead to high cholesterol as well. 
You know that most of the persons may have misconceptions related to accutane and they believe that they will never be accutane fans, but when they see a lot of people happy because they finally have got rid of it, they have decided to change their minds. As far as side effects are concerned, they have been registered only in the case of 2 persons out of 200. These side effects can be very dry lips and skin in general, therefore you don’t have to use soap or cleansing lotions or creams only in private areas, underarms and on your legs, and you can use as many hydrating creams as you can, not multi vitamin ones, which contain of course vitamin A and you should use sun screen as well. During the treatment, you must use contraceptive products, the treatment can last 4 months and in the case of 80% of the patients acne disappears forever, and the other 20%, in general men, need a series or more, therefore other 4 months of accutane.
Antibiotics are good, as they kill bacteria, but only if you keep taking them. Accutane can be prescribed even to 75 year old people, after they have tests performed, for rosacea, for cysts etc. Accutane can be as well prescribed for pores closing, but in this case the doses must be small enough.
In very rare cases accutane side effects are severe. This means depression, or severe liver affections. That is why your doctor must monitor you during the treatment. Moreover accutane is not prescribed to women if they don’t take birth control pills, as they can even contribute to hormonal balance. Thus, before taking accutane you must do tests which must prove that your liver is healthy.
To continue with, accutane must be used not only for acne eruptions treatment, but it can be also used for preventing toxic pigments accumulation on the retina. This toxic pigments accumulation can lead to central retina area deterioration.
Researchers have established before this study that accutane has a positive side effect in treating night blindness, formulating the hypothesis that this drug can be useful for other eye diseases too.
The results have been remarkable. After two months of treatment with accutane, experts have established that the retina of the mice which have been monitored has been impeccably clean, therefore toxic pigments accumulations have disappeared.
