A member asked:
I have heard a lot about accutane and am thinking about visiting my dermatologist and was wondering if there was another drug he might prescribe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Accutane & others: Using Accutane is usually a last resort option for most people due to the side effects and expense. Most people will have attempted treatment with oral antibiotics and topical medications first.
