A member asked:
Do you think i should take accutane over the summer, and how do the blood tests work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Accutane make you very sensitive to the sun and you can sunburn very easily (anytiime but that makes summer really bad). The blood tests do not help the Accutane work any better it just helps moniter the effects of the drug or if you are female ensures you are not pregnant.
