Zileuton is ZYFLO CR.   Most insurance don't cover ZYFLO CR since it is very expensive.   But, if your "household" income is lower than certain amounts:   1 person - $46,680 2 peopl...

As far as side effects I have had hardly any. I do have dry skin and my eczema has flared up but I would rather have eczema than acne. My hair and lips are a little dry but not chapped. That's abou...

Also i was on ortho lo before and that is suppose to help people with their acne too, but it didnt help mine. i think it may have caused it actually. Enjoy while it lasts. Yaz & Yasmin will even...

I tried looking up if it has been discontinued and found no info on it. They better not. I was on the patch the first time on BC and it was the worst!! It made me breakout in cysts and it made me craz...

With this i am wondering do you still get the initial break out or not? Just wondering as last time it was horrid? Start in January, the earliest i could see my NHS dermo. Look forward to any repli...

I am on 20mg for 1 week per month.. over a period of 6 months.. which means to say, i am not taking roaccutane everyday.. i am not sure y my derm instructed me with such a dosage pattern.. quite worri...

Hey, for those of you who took a low dose treatment, how much of an initial breakout did you experience, how long did it take to form, and how long did it last? Thanks. See it all depends on how bad...

it seems to me long term low dosage would slowly change ur bones you wouldnt know it until you decided to go for a run like me. and then you will have the task of paying a chiropractor and sitting at ...

Hyperostosis- A high prevalence of skeletal hyperostosis was noted in clinical trials for disorders of keratinization w/ a mean dose of 2.24 mg/kg/day. long term use of accutane even in low doses ...

Anyways, I am only a click away from begining a course of low dose accutane. Somewhere between 2.5mg-10mg per day for up to 6 months. I will probly begin with 1mg per day for the first month, judge ...

I really think it depends on the persons situation. My acne was moderately severe, the first 2 months I was on 10mg, I'm am nearing the end of my 3rd month on 20mg a day, and I'm clear!! I've heard n...

I have pretty mild, but persistent acne...been on many antibiotics, Dianne etc etc etc and I decided that enough's enough - I'm 25 and want this thing sorted...So I went to a derm and he agreed to put...

been on b5 10 grams a little over a month. face is still oily. not what i expected. Are you taking Fish oil? Myself, when I take Fish oil it makes my skin oilier. Fish oil is a animal source omega...

I was on YAZ and it DID clear up my hormonal acne and did work well for PMDD. I just recently came off it because I felt it was making me sluggish and gain weight and my acne has returned FULL FORCE a...

Any comments on the time released formula? I've read a few but there aren't too many. Avoid time released B complex. Vitamin B3 (niacin) can cause liver damage in time release form. Just because t...

It's cheaper, and you don't have to worry about fillers that are present in the capsules. Yes AND it's less likely to be rancid.. and if it is rancid, you'll know, whereas you could take a rancid fi...

well i am on YAZ.. YAZ or Yasmin is worthless and potentially dangerous since it raises potassium levels. They execute people on death row by raising potassium levels enough to stop the heart. Y...

Doses as low as 2.5 mg and even 1mg per day have been used on a continual basis to keep acne at bay. Tell your doctors that: 1mg per day isn't enough. Studies so far indicate 10mg a week after 10m...

An entire year on low dose and it has not produced remission. Any advice would be appreciated. SELF magazine (not sure what month but I have the actual page & page number) but I think was in 2...

That part about giving someone "large enough doses of DHT" is interesting speculation, but that's all it is. Speculation. It's not speculation. DHT is just one of many androgens that stimulate oil ...

since i started accutane i've had a few headaches off and on that won't go away. i'm in my 2nd month now and i've had a headache for the past 2 days that ibuprofin won't cure. is this normal? has th...

"Sebum is fuel for acne. You cut it of completely you cut off acne completely." Thats not true. Tell me one person in the world who gets acne on their hand palms or feet soles? None because they ...

bryan said: This claim reminds me of another similar one that's often heard on these forums; that's the one about how eating sugar or carbohydrates raises insulin, which in turn raises androgen...

Many laymen feel that oil does decrease aging of the skin.   But, the truth is 80% of all "visible" signs of aging are from UV rays from the sun.   It's a fact that any oil including your ow...
