During treatment, Accutane reduces the amount of oil the sebaceous glands produce. Quite literally, this product alters the skin’s natural oil secretion, which effectively prevents the spread of acne. A proven treatment for acne, Accutane is a strong drug and a consult with a dermatologist is required, as is a prescription.

While taking Accutane, many patients experienced side effects such as severe dry lips, eye inflammation, thinning hair, and in very few cases, stomach pain or difficulty breathing. Because Accutane is a powerful drug, and as  you would do with any other powerful drug, exercise caution while doing physical activity.
