Accutane Journal: Day 0

Other No Comments »

So my final decision is to take Accutane to deal with my increasing bad case of acne. I’ll be keeping a daily tab of any side-effects I may experience while on Accutane. I would also like to mention that in my current state, I’m perfectly healthy (even though I just recovered from a cold).

So I just got the pills from the pharmacy today, which consisted of the following:

  • 30 Capsules of 40mg Accutane Roche 40 (1 capsule taken a day)
  • 30 Capsules of 10mg Accutane Roche 10 x 3 Packages (3 capsules taken a day each after a meal)
My monthly dosage

Monthly Dosage

I will be starting on the pills tomorrow since I need to leave a day for all the antibiotics I have been taking to pass through my system.

I really hope I do not run into any of the severe side-effects due the extreme toxicity of this medicine. I’ll briefly post what was written on Accutane’s consumer information. Please note that the information copied here are the latest as issued of August 2006 so there may be updates to the information when you receive your Accutane.
