    Hello
    I am 26 years old and i'm supposed to have curacne 40 mg for 6 months and a half. Is it forbidden to go be exposed to the sun? I mean, i can go to the beach and protect my face but is it dangerous for my body to be exposed to the sun as well?
    Best regards

    I took Curacne for 4 months (30mg per day) from May to September 2010. From Sep 2010 till now, it is almost 4 months and I 've just found that I have a 6 week baby. So is it fine for my baby? whether or not the side effect can happen to my baby? I worry about that 4 months are not enough time to eliminate all side effects of medicine out of my body.

    hello everyone ,
    I'm 18 years old and I've been on curacne for 5 days now ,and I've been reading a lot about this medication and what to drink when you take the pills , it seems to be that you should eat "fatty food" and a glass of water or simply "MILK" but be sure it's not skim because FAT is good for you when you are on Isotrentinoin because it will increase absorption, and milk does not line your stomach like some people say , and if you are allergic to dairy products you can use peanut butter instead.

    Hi all,

    I thought I would write a positive note to all... I have been on Curacne for 3and a half months... and the difference is incredible. At first my acne got worse, skin was peeling more and my lips verry dry and cracked but now after 3 and a half months my lips are no longer that dry (although still having to use lip balm) and my skin looks great! I am only seeing about 1 spot a week! Yey! So keep on it and you will see a difference too! wooooowooo

    Hey
    I've been using this medicine for one week and even though i've notice a little improvement, yet i'm thinking of stopping it.
    Bbecause i heared ur face shape changes and lips!!! U may experience difficulties while talking!!!
    I already have headach from it and i feel sleepy.
    Also dryness within my mouth. I have asthma since i was young and i feel i am experiencing difficulities in breathing, i can't breath well since i took it and been coughing all day!!!
    Plus, i can't expose myself in the sun, while my job needs me to be outside most of the time & i've been there out and the dr didn't tell me this!!!
    :(

    sama you cant get pregnant while on curacne, or not less than 1 year after using it. it WILL cause serious deformations in your baby.
    Sarah
    28 Nov 2011, 22:31
    Ahhhh.. I HATE this medicine!
    I don`t deny the fact that it is actually working with me.. now it`s been almost 1 month, but it is really annoying! Never expireoenced as much as these side effects from any other medication!
    Anyway, what's really annoying is that my whole face is peeling even around my nose and eyes which is hurt and looks awful! plus I have asthma and it makes it worse I can not breath well and coahing all the time! I also feel less active & sleepy.
    Lately, my nose started to bleed each morning!
    Sarah
    28 Nov 2011, 22:36
    TO ALL WOMEN WHO MIGHT HAVE A POSSIBILITY TO GET PREGNANT..
    DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE OR ELSE U WILL REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I heared real sad stories about it, pls contact ur doctor BEFORE taking this medicine! even if u r using any kind of protection.. it will harm ur baby & u have a big chance of losing ur baby..

    So, it's ur choice

    been on curacne for 23 days now, and it's fucking amazing, my face has never looked so clear or felt so soft and smooth. i still get a few pimples on occasion but they dry out in a day or two, however im still left with the acne marks, which need a while and some acne spot medication before they are completely gone. also, in my case, the side effects like pealing and dryness were severe at first but now they are manageable. however back and joint pains are still annoying but i am getting used to them. one can always reduce the dose whenever he wants to, but he will have to take the medicine for a few more months

    I have been using Curacne for 28 days now. I have lots of pimples coming out and my face and lips are very dry.

    During my first 2 weeks of taking curacne, my face was really gross. Lots of pimples came out with pus. My face was very itchy, I wanted to scratch but it can't be. My doctor advised me to use Cetaphyl lotion on my face to help moisturize my dry face and she also gave me vaseline lip balm for my chapped lips.

    Ah the most important thing to remember while taking this medicine is NOT TO GET PREGNANT because your baby will be deformed, she even let me sign a waiver saying that it's not the doctor's responsibility if I get pregnant.

    Also, I have to go to the doctor every month for my blood test before she will prescribe me curacne for another month. By the way, here in Dubai, we can not buy curacne without Doctor's prescription since this is a monitored medicine.
