Acne medication and side effects

Western acne medication offers a variety of products that can be used in the fight against acne, yet care must be exercised as some of these medicines can have unwanted and undesirable side effects.

General information on acne

Acne is not just an inconvenience, and must be dealt with effectively and as fast as possible, since acne can cause permanent damage to your skin, and also undermine your self confidence and put a strain on your social interaction.

If you suffer from severe acne, a medical practitioner must be consulted since a topical treatment (cream or lotion) may not be enough to bring the acne under control, and a systemic antibiotic (capsule or pill) may be needed to help clear up the problem.

If you have acne, do not scratch or pick at the comedones and lesions, as this can increase inflammation, spread it to surrounding areas and can lead to permanent scarring.

Side effects of oral acne medication

Some prescription acne medication like Roaccutane (Accutane) that is taken orally can have side effects and must be taken under medical supervision. Some of the side effects of the medication is listed below:

  • Change in body weight

  • Change in libido

  • Breast tenderness

  • Tiredness

  • Depression

  • Mood swings

  • Impaired liver functioning

  • Tooth discoloration

  • Thrombosis

  • Skin pigmentation

  • Fluid retention

  • Headaches

  • Tumors

  • Skin allergies

  • Decrease hearing

  • Photosensitivity

  • Suicidal tendencies

  • Muscular pain

  • Behavior disorders

  • Dizziness

  • Dry eyes

  • Visual disturbances

  • Hypertension

  • Changes in menstrual flow

  • Leg cramps

Some of these side effects are dangerous and must be monitored constantly and checked by the medical practitioner that prescribed the medication.

This particular oral medication was developed to treat severe cystic acne, yet, we feel that some medical practitioners over-script this particular drug, in cases in which it is not required.
