I agree with Biggs, Accutane generally has very few respiratory side effects,and IF by chance it even did have these side effects it would "trigger" or aggravate existing asthma, not cause it. There are small studies that found Accutane might possibly on rare occasion cause bronchospasm or a reduction in expiratory flow.. but In my honest opinion those side effects are so rare and unsupported that I don't even think they are anything to be concerned about.
Although if you notice difficulty with your breathing and chest tightness you should get checked out by your doctor.. it's best to stay on-top of that sort of thing, especially so you can be at your best whilst on Accutane!
Hope you feel better~ and good luck (:
It can cause pleurisy and there is a section in the u.s. prescribing guide on respitory! Though I haven't seen it much there was a few who ended up in the hospital for pleurisy while on accutane!
As for asthma ???? Could of dried your lungs out and certian things like sugar levels, thyroid can cause breathing issues!
If your concerned see your phyisican
Ever since my last course of accutane, I've had trouble breathing from time to time, along with chest tightness. Can accutane cause asthma in some patiients?
I experienced similar symptoms.. from time to time, my hand and face felt numb and such. I then stopped accutane for a week or so. gotten a lot better, now i'm back on it. haven't experience anything yet.
