cashmira 0 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Here's a lazy reply to your question Go to my blog in the link with my signature. On the top left hand side of the page, you'll find a link to the Roche web site. Once there, you'll find PDF's of their literature, which will outline exactly what the blood tests are for...and absolutely EVERYTHING else about Accutane you've ever wanted to know!!!Cashmira Quote Link to post Share on other sites
