How should you take this medication?


When taking any prescription only medication, you should always follow the directions given by your local health provider or pharmacist. In this case, many countries have rules requiring that this drug should only be prescribed if its use is approved by a dermatologist and then the course of treatment is properly supervised. If you bypass your local supervisory scheme by buying online, make sure that you read and follow the instructions given to reduce the risk of problems.

The dose is not standard. It has to be calculated given your age, weight and the strength of the tablet.

There will also be differences on the number of tablets you take, the length of time between each dose, and the total length of the course of treatment. If you are comparing notes with others taking this medication, do not be tempted to change your dose to match their dose. Your dermatologist has made the appropriate calculation for you.


Take that recommended dose. If you do not see an immediate result, do not worry. Some people do not see an improvement for six or more weeks. Never be tempted to increase the dose without first discussing the implications with your dermatologist or pharmacist. There are real risks of side effects if you exceed the recommended dose. It is advisable to take each tablet with food and drinking at least one full glass of water. This reduces the risk of discomfort in the stomach and allows the drug to pass more slowly into the blood stream. If you do miss a dose, never double up next time round. Stay on the schedule given as much as possible.

It is never a good idea to share your medication with others. In this case, because of the risk to women and any children should they become pregnant, never give any of this medication to a young or older woman able to conceive. You should also take precautions to make sure that children cannot get access to the bottle. This means storing the bottle either in a childproof cabinet or out of reach. Find somewhere dry and not too hot — a bathroom is not a good place.
