Dear Dr. Choudhary, thank you for your answer, my last total Billirubin was 3.4 mg/dL and direct Billirubin 0.4 mg/dL also GOT, GPT,GGT are normal. I don't have other health issues, I am a very healthy person, my only problem is acute acne, and the doctor have given to me other antibiotics and have not work for me so the last alternative is roaccutane, and I want to know if there is not recommended for my disease ( XXXXXXX S.)

many thanks

Brief Answer:
No contraindications

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Welcome back.
Persons with XXXXXXX syndrome can undergo Roaccutane therapy like any other person.
There is no much harmto the XXXXXXX syndrome patients per say but the drug as such has many adverse effects and is poorly tolerated.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
