A member asked:
I want to start getting a birth control shot/injection to minimize acne. i was on oratane and at my new job (cabin crew) i was told not to take them as it affects my eyes. i just want to be free of pimples on my face. please advise?

I am uncertain: how taking oratane affects your EYES....this is NOT a common side effect... HOWEVER there are other treatments for severe acne and a consultation with a Dermatologist is indicated! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
