Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I m 22 years old and i have few pimples on my face, recently i went to a dermatologist. He prescribed me Isotretinoin 10mg with Adapalene Gel. After taking the Isotretinoin i got pain in my left knee. Shall I keep taking the medicine or I should stop it.
Yes, it can be due to the side effects of Isotretinoin. Isotretinoin can cause arthralgia, back pain, and myalgia as some of its common side effects. I advise you to consult your dermatologist for an effective alternative but a safer drug for the treatment of pimples or dose reduction of Isoretinoin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
