A member asked:
Does a dosage of isotritinoin leads to (1)weaker memory (2)hormonal imbalances?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No : The effects of Accutane are well-documented and do not include effects on cognition (thinking and mental acuity). Also hormonal disturbances are not usually attributed to Accutane use.

No and NO: This medicine is a vitamin a derivative and does not cause hormonal imbalance or memory loss. If you are depressed this medicine can make you more depressed. Pregnancy avoidance is the most important requirement.
