Help!! Mixing Claravis And Amnestreem

Updated

Hi! So this is my second month of accutane. My first month my doctor prescribed me 40mg per day and I was taking amnestreem. This month she told me to take 60mg/day, 40 mg with one meal and 20mg with the other. The pharmacy gave me 40mg of amnestreem and 20mg of claravis. I asked the pharmacist if this was okay and he said yes but my doctor told me to make sure I take the same brand. The pharmacist couldn't get the same brand in each of the strengths. I've noticed my skin is getting much worse. Is what I'm doing okay?? Is my skin getting worse because of it? Help!!

Hello,

I think the reason why your doctor wanted you to get the same brands of medication might be because of the "inactive" ingredients. Different manufacturers use different inactive ingredients in their formulas, so he probably knows which ones could cause a reaction and which ones shouldn't. I think you should let your doctor know what happened and maybe she can help you find a pharmacy to get you exactly what was prescribed.

Also, have you ever thought about healing your skin from the inside out? Acne and other skin related issues can sometimes be improved just by eliminating toxic foods and beverages from your diet ie: sugar, dairy, wheat, etc... Since I've eliminated the majority of dairy from my diet, started juicing/eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, and started to drink lots of water, my skin cleared up immensely! I dealt with troublesome skin for years and have also been on Accutane so I know what you're going through. Just remember, there are lots of safe and less harsh ways to heal your skin! I wish I had know that before I took all the intense medications.

Good luck and I hope this helps!
