A member asked:

Started isotretinoin treatment1 month ago,having great results,feeling nauseous every morning and eve for few hrs recently, what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common: Isotretinoin is known to cause nausea. Since it is helping you and presumably u wld like to continue & finish the course , discuss this with your prescribing doctor to see if the dose can be reduced; failing which u may want to ask for an anti nausea medicine.
