Ok, under advise of this board, i have started accutane. Today is my second day, I will let you know of my progress.

The only question i have is that they gave me something called "amnesteem" by MLAN of France, which was substituted for accutane. I guess its a generic. Is this as effective as the Roche??

PS its from the derm, and i got it from CVS

bump if anyone knows anything about "amnesteem" and how it compares to the Roche accutane.
I believe its another name brand for accutane, and I want to know if its weaker or not as effective

I am sure like you said, it is a generic.. For the most parts generics are identical to the name brands. Usually it is the same product under the same conglomerate that owns the name brand.

I'm not sure about "amnesteem" but I have tried both Roche accutane and Chinese "Isotretinoin" and the Isotretinoin wasn't as great as the Roche Accutane.
