Combining Accutane (isotretinoin) and doxycycline can increase the risk of certain side effects. You might experience more severe dryness of the skin, lips, and eyes. This dryness can lead to cracking and bleeding. Expect increased sun sensitivity, making sunburn more likely.
Gastrointestinal issues, such as nausea, stomach upset, or diarrhea, are also more common when taking both medications together. Some individuals report headaches. Rarely, more serious liver problems may occur. Therefore, regular monitoring of liver function is crucial during this combination therapy.
Remember, everyone reacts differently to medications. These are potential side effects; you may not experience all or any of them. Open communication with your doctor is key to managing potential issues. Report any unusual symptoms immediately.
Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and instructions. Do not adjust your medication without consulting your physician.
