The main side effect of Accutane (Isotretinoin 40 mg), a powerful medication used to treat severe acne, is its potential to cause severe dryness of the skin and mucous membranes. This dryness can lead to cracked lips, dry eyes, nosebleeds, and irritation of the skin. These effects occur because Accutane significantly reduces the amount of oil produced by the sebaceous glands, which helps in reducing acne but also strips away essential moisture.
Patients often experience other common side effects such as increased sensitivity to the sun, joint and muscle pain, and temporary hair thinning. More severe but less common side effects include mood changes, severe headaches, and vision problems, which should be promptly reported to a healthcare provider.
Given its potency and risk profile, Accutane is usually prescribed only after other acne treatments have failed. Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is crucial to manage side effects and adjust the dosage as necessary. Women of childbearing age must take additional precautions due to the high risk of birth defects associated with the drug.
