    accutane is actually very very bad 4 you. lowest dose possible for only the most extreme patients.

    i actually take an accutane replacement. its a natural herb called pau d'arco. its like 8 bux at health food stores, pretty much does the same thing, (cuts down on oils on the skin/sebum) i heard it also can be hard on the liver but much less harsh than accutane, and yes it does work for me, i have dermatitus and they help keep oil off my skin, however if u take too much, you get pimples/whiteheads cause so much bacteria being killed from the herb. pau d'arco comes from the bark of trees in tropical regions.

    i was on accutane when i was younger b/c i was a pizza face......i had blood tests done every other week and everything worked out well. but if your liver enzymes are out of line YES ITS BAD, get the sh1t checked out and get them checked by your doc

    It's harsh on other organs then just the liver...so is it's topical cousin Retin-A. This is why it dumbfounds me how people just casually suggest taking these to people for mild acne without the guidence of a physician.
