Am taking Acutret 20mg for my pimples and I've got PCOD and IBS too. I'm a bit worried about whether it's okay to be on this medication with my other conditions. Could it cause any issues?

Isotretinoin, the active ingredient in Acutret, can potentially worsen IBS symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. It may also affect hormone levels, which can be concerning for PCOD. For your specific case, it is best to consult with your doctor to discuss the potential risks and benefits of continuing Acutret 20mg. They may suggest alternative treatments or adjust the dosage to minimize any negative effects on your PCOD and IBS.
