Isotretinoin: Acnetrex / Accutane / Roaccutane Thread 2

[Cristal]

Acnetrex is the way talaga!!!! Skin saver talaga. People shouldnt wait till they get scars from years of acne. Dapat take na agad ng ganitong prescription drug for acne. I took the low dose for 5 months. Then during those months todo diamond peel and tca peeling. Tapos nagpa pixel pa ako. Kaya no scars talaga. Magaling din yung derma ko kasi she noticed daw if under acnetrex ang patient, this is the best time to do pixel. Naminimize yung pores ko. And people really compliment how good my skin looks.

my pimples are back 4mon after i stopped taking acnetrex for 6mon

have anyone had med exam after taking acnetrex...ano ang lumabas sa result?

[kwinchesters]

Normal naman lab results sis nung last time na nagpakuha ko.
Kaso 1 month pa lang ko walang Acnetrex,bumalik uli cystic pimples ko at oily skin. Dati kasi 2x a day, naging once/day, then 2x a week. More than 6 months ako nag take ng Acnetrex
Then stop nako nung August. Eto balik uli nung September.
May nabasa ako na ang Acnetrex daw,mabilis ang effect pero mabilis din mawala ang effectivity. While Roaccutane-it will take time bago mag effect pero matagal maretain yung effectivity sa system.
Meron kayang naka experience dito ng both brands? Sana merong mag share. Parang gusto kong mag switch sa Roaccutane.

[loloy101]

ako acnetrex lang at [textspeak!] isa pang which i dont remember the name

illl ask my doc na try to roac kasi mas mahal daw yun eh
1.8k i guess.

yeah mabilis nga effect ng acnetrex overnight walang oilyness at dry agad ang pimple.

[ruthieteezle]

around 2400+ na ang roaccutane ngayon. 

[chaoticboi]

aw. seems that most of our sis are acnetrex users.. still looking forward for more feedback for roac.. i've read from the old thread, it's more potent.. how come acnetrex suddenly became mainstream??

took acnotin10 2 years ago for 1 year. thank God hindi na ko nagkaka-pimple ulit. may one or two na maliliit (sobrang once in a blue moon lang) but nilalagyan ko agad ng cream na bigay ni derma para hindi lumaki and good thing naman nawawala siya agad. hindi na din oily face ko and dami talaga nagsasabi na ang ganda ng skin ko now 

sobrang gastos nga lang. P1500 per box (30 caps) nung time ko tapos nung first few months i have to take it 2 or 3 times a day ata (can't remember na) so 2 boxes ako per month and that's 3k! tapos habang tumatagal binabawasan ni derma intake ko. aside from that may treatments din ako and injections from my derma para sa mga pimples na lumalabas nung early stage. for the scars, lightening creams na lang pinagamit sa akin.

before kelangan talaga ng waiver para makabili ka sa pharmacy but meron din naman sila binebenta sa clinic. i don't know if ganon pa din now. good effect naman sa akin nung acnotin, wala naman ako nafeel na kakaiba (as far as i can remember). pero from i know, bawal magbuntis if you're taking this. may chance na maging abnormal yung baby.

ask ko lang sis ..  malala ba acne mo or moderate lang?... i wanna try this sana kaya lang baka .. may phase na 'it gets worst before it gets better' nanaman. ayoko ng ganun..hehe

[sydxoxo]

if malala means buong face may acne, no hindi naman ganon but cystic acne yung akin sa forehead, chin, jawline and minsan between the nose and upper lip. minsan maliit minsan malaki but for me, malala na yun. kelangan ko pa mag-concealer and foundation just to hide them. minsan hindi ko pa ma-bleng ng maayos. just go to a reliable derma para hindi ka magsisi. sa una talaga maglalabasan yan, nagpi-peel off pa nga skin ko that time kasi nag-undergo din ako ng facial treatments so talagang ang hirap at ayaw mo na lumabas ng bahay but at the end, worth it talaga ang hirap. nag-take lang talaga ako ng risk kasi fed up na ko sa acnes ko. nakakasawa na din kasi e. pagisipan mo mabuti kasi magastos din yan. backup ka din ng facial treatments para mas gumanda skin mo.

before i started using acnetrex i have 1 or 2 pimples weekly, some small some huge even cystic i had my research and lab test before i took it, i was even the one who suggested sa derma ko that i need the med i presented my lab results which was all normal she was surprised i know what i was talking about and what i was trying to achieve.

your referring to the 'purging effect'
never had since monthly i go to my derma for cleaning,injections and peeling plus the prescription so its really expensive almost 2k per month, that time i was also taking gluta para liver protection.

[qhym]

am taking acutrex once a day and 3rd box ko na yta. kc yung first box ko is acnetrex then pinalitan ng acutrex so far mga 1 or 2 zits lang nagpapainject na kc agad ako takot na ako sa scars eh hayyy sana lang wag na bumalik

[trizh]

  -- nung nagstop ako, bumalik pimples ko. as in cystic pa. so take ulit ako ngayon, pero 3x a week na lang.

[qhym]

sis trizh natapos mo ba yung 6 mos cycle? once a day ka din ba before? kakatakot naman yan huhuhu

[trizh]

 ^ yes once a day sis, for 6 months. then wala pang 1 year, ayun, naglalabasan na ulit pimples ko.

[FOURever]

^sis, bumalik agad?

Mommy ko pinagtake ng acutrex kasi di na daw pimples yun eh.. Sana maging effective sa kanya.. Ako naman, 19 pa lang. If possible, ayaw ako painumin ng derma ko ng oral medication for pimples. Pero kung di mag improve tong skin ko, baka painumin din ako..

[loloy101]

using acutrex mga malilit lang na pimples ang lumalabas tapos magd-dry then scar na and so far for a month 1 cystic acne palang.

using acnetrex bilis magclear ng face ko pero in a month may 2-3 cystuc acne ako.


try ko kaya ang acnotin10
sana meron yan sa mercury drug

ano kaya maganda gawin para after the medication di na magka pimples ulit...kakainis kung ang skin an forever teenager.

[trizh]

 ^^ sis 17 lang ako nung nagtake. hindi naman sa bumalik agad, wala pang 1 year ako nagstop, nagkaroon na ng pimples. masasabi ko na clear yung skin ko nung mga time na nagtatake pa ako. as in no oilies, no pimples. pero mga 5 to 7 months after ko istop, ayun na lahat. oily skin, cystic pimples etc. at mas matindi ngayon. so yung derma ko, pinatake niya ako ulet, kahit 3x a week lang.

[GabBeaMariz]

3 months na yata kong nagstop sa acnetrex nagkakapimples ako 1 lang pag magkakaron na ko pero di siya nagiiwan ng marks after 

[FOURever]

^^thanks sis..ü so, pag pinagtake ako ni dra nito, for 6 months siguro.. Tapos stop, pag nagkaroon ulit, siguro ipapatake nya ulit sakin yun pero di na everyday.. Wala naman daw po side effect after several years? Like after 10 years? Need po ba ng liver supplement pag umiinom nito?

[trizh]

 ^ sis depende rin po siguro sa situation. may mga nakapagsabe sa akin na may effect daw ito sa fertility. pero hindi ko pa na confirm ito sa derma ko.. ask mo na lang derma mo sis para sure.
