Before taking any medications (even over-the-counter meds such as cough syrups for colds, medications for headaches, etc.) always tell your local pharamacist what medication you are on and will the medication you want to take counter-act with the med you are on at this time. Doctors are often in a rush, so I prefer to trust my pharmacist.
I've been taking accutance for 4 months so far I get dry lips/skin. That's all.
There are no known problems taking Accutane with antidepressants. It IS advised to AVOID vitamin A supplements. Also mixing with alcohol CAN cause SEVERELY elevated blood-triglyceride levels. When my son was on Accutane for severe acne he experienced VERY dry lips and mucous membranes. Also, regular blood tests are important to monitor liver functions. In addition, if you take carbamazepine ( TEGRETOL ) for seizures, Accutane may reduce the effect of Tegretol. ASK your doctor and/or pharmacist. Your pharmacist can give you a whole printout on Accutane if you ask. The printout tells you EVERYTHING you need to know & in easy to read/understand language..( not "doctor speak"! )
