A member asked:
How would i go about getting my 15 yr old son on accutane? can this be done over the phone with a virtual visit or do i need to bring him to a special kind of dr??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Virtual visit: Would find dermatologist, plastic surgeon or other physician familiar with Accutane and its use and proper dosing. They may also want baseline blood work prior to giving prescription and may limit length of time of use and mandate further blood work before continuing prescription.
