A member asked:
Is it ok to change brands during isotretinoin treatment?both will have the same active ingredient i.e, isotretinoin, but will there be any sideeffect?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: As long as the concentration of the isotretinoin is the same, there should not be any side effect to switching the brand.

Probably: As long as the concentration and formulation (cream, gel, ointment) are the same, they are likely interchangeable.
