Seven Dosages of Accutane
Scarlet,
I have MDS and I had been on accutane 7 times for acne. I started with acne around age 20. I started taking accutane around age 31 once I was done having children. My early dosages were very strong. My last few courses were only 10mg a few times a week. My husband has hated me being on this drug and often worried about its effects. I had no idea that it was used as a chemotherapy!
Certainly makes you wonder.......
Janice
