A member asked:
Although unlikely, how can accutane cause liver disease, and which types? does monitoring one's liver profile keep one safe from developing these?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Accutane: The metabolism of the drug by your liver cells can damage them. Monitoring their functioning will not stop the damage unless you stop taking the med once evidence of damage shows up!!
