My dermatologist prescribed me isotretinoin, should i worry about side effects? it is good or safe to take? im worried about the sayings of this medication?

I’m sure your Doctor explained carefully the side effects before prescribing it.It is a wonderful medication for bad acne &it rarely causes severe side effects however,be sure to follow ALL your Dermatologist’s recommendations AND,either abstain from having sex, or use 2 forms of birth control.You will have dry skin,cracked lips,use moisturizer&aquaphor.They will resolve after stopping
