Your doctor will schedule regular blood tests to check your lipid levels (cholesterol and triglycerides).<\/p>\n<ul> These tests detect potential increases, a known side effect. High lipid levels can raise your risk of heart problems. Frequency varies, but expect tests every month or two, adjusted based on your results and your doctor&#8217;s assessment. <\/ul>\n<p>Beyond lipids, your doctor also monitors liver function. Accutane can, in rare instances, affect liver health.<\/p>\n<ul> Liver function tests assess your liver&#8217;s ability to process toxins and function properly. Abnormal results may necessitate medication adjustments or treatment cessation. <\/ul>\n<p>Finally, blood counts are examined. Accutane can affect blood cell production, potentially causing anemia or decreased white blood cell count, impacting your immune system.<\/p>\n<p> Regular blood counts ensure early detection of these potential issues. This allows for prompt adjustments to your treatment plan to mitigate risks.<\/p>\n<p>Attend all scheduled appointments. Open communication with your dermatologist is paramount. Report any unusual symptoms immediately. Consistent monitoring helps ensure safe and effective treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accutane requires consistent blood monitoring.
