If you do decide to take Accutane, keep in mind that a small percentage of people don't benefit from the drug so if you can try other treatments, opt for those first. If your doctor does advise you to take Accutane, follow his or her medical advice carefully. Women taking Accutane should be on hormonal birth control if they are sexually active. If you do experience negative side effects and think that they are severe, discuss your symptoms with your dermatologist.
