Acne can be devastating – not only is it painful and unsightly, if can also affect people’s confidence and self-esteem. Unsurprising then that people will try pretty much anything to rid them of their acne: even, as a last resort, turning to their doctor many of who are prescribing Roaccutane.
Roaccutane can cause some very harsh side effects - here are just a few;
- Life-threatening birth defects can be caused. Women of child-bearing potential must agree to the use of 2 forms of contraception i.e. condoms and the contraceptive pill, so a change of hormones occur
- Depression, anxiety, aggression and mood changes and very rarely psychotic symptoms (e.g. delusions or hallucinations), thoughts of suicide or suicide attempts
- Dryness of the lips, eyes, mouth and nose, cracking or peeling skin, itching, rashes, blistering
- Loss of appetite
- Headaches
- Joint pain/Back pain
- Trouble concentrating, sleep problems, crying spells, aggression or agitation
- Decreased night vision
