I had to schedule and wait 2-weeks for an appointment with a dermatologist. After that waiting, all he did was RECOMMEND what dosage of accutane I should get, and I could justwalk in to any pharmacy and pick up any dosage of accutane. No prescriptions at all. I think this is great, I no longer have to worry about an appointment.
Is this normal in other countries for you guys?
BTW- I am living in Qatar.
Lol same here in Kuwait there are some places where you can get it without a prescription. It's not a good thing, it goes to show how flawed the medical system is. From what I see, people (especially girls) are abusing it and taking the medication even if they don't have acne... they take it just for the sake of making their skin look more clear. Oh and some take it because they hear it shrinks the size of the nose
Anyways this means no liver function monitoring and proper counselling. And Roaccutane is a very hardcore drug so make sure you get regular blood tests done, at the very least.

but ido you still have to pay the steep price?
I'm not sure what the average price of a monthly dosage is, but I bought a 2 months supply of accutane (30mg per day) for about $93 USD if I convert it...

Wow it's about $300 a month here if I remember correctly, that's interesting
