Not too sure where to post this...

I switched from Roche's Accutane brand to the Canadian Epirus...

Ever since then, my left eye has been swollen on and off and puffy on/off.. Sometimes my vision is blurry.

I'm not sure if this is because of the switch of brands.. or because I may have an allergy to my cat's dander.. however, the puffiness persists even when I'm away from my cats and in newly washed clothes.

 

Has anyone had any issues at all with their eyes? Or even a different reaction when switching brands?

Thanks

Sounds like a allergic reaction. Check the side effects and allergies symptoms for that medicine. I would give your derm a call see what she suggest. You don't want to let that continue.

I'm on my second course of 40/mg for 6 months, and this time my Derm prescribed Epuris (for better absorption). First time around I didn't have any eye problems (generic brand). Now on Epuris both of my lower lids got puffy/swollen/red/sore. There might be some relation to Epuris and eye swelling, since you've mentioned the brand.

I'm still searching for relief... Vaseline has been good to me though, although it's messy.

I would tell your derm ASAP and have him or her make sure that your next script cannot be generic. I would assume this is an allergic reaction to something in the new brand your trying.
