Roaccutane as an acne treatment?

I heard roaccutane is an effect treatment for acne and it stops acne returning for good.


I was just wondering how is it taken? Is it taken orally in capsules or what?


I have problems swallowing tablets (I have to chew) and capsules so is there any other way to take itRoaccutane as an acne treatment?
Yes, Roaccutane (generic - isotretinoin) is an effective treatment for acne and only your doctor/dermatologist can decide whether it is appropriate for you. Yes, it is in capsule form and has to be taken orally.

Isotretinoin is a form of vitamin A. It reduces the amount of oil released by oil glands in your skin, and helps your skin renew itself more quickly. It is used to treat severe nodular acne that has not responded to other treatments, including antibiotics.





If you find it really difficult to swallow tablets and capsules then there are topical forms of acne medicines which may be used. Tretinoin is a topical form of Vitamin A, which can be used to treat acne.
