What Causes Pain During Bowel Movement After Taking Claravis?
I m on the drug claravis (for acne) and about a few weeks after I started taking it, it hurt a bit to poop. Now it s 3 months after and it is even more painful to poop. There s no blood though. Did the claravis make my skin sensetive and tear skin when I poop?

Hi
Claravis belongs to a group of drug called retinoids.Retinoids can cause abdominal pain,diarrhoea,rectal bleeding or dark urine in severe cases.Persistance of symptoms even after 3 months of stopping the drug arises the suspicion of other causes.Colitis or inflammatory bowel disease should be ruled out.Complete blood count and colonoscopy should be done if symptoms persist.
Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.
