Frequently Asked Questions about Accutane refills

Do you need a doctor’s prescription for Accutane?

Accutane (Isotretinoin) is a potent oral retinoid that can only be dispensed with a prescription. Due to potential side effects, it requires close medical supervision. With Your Doctors Online, patients with a prescription can request a secure Accutane refill online, which can be sent directly to their pharmacy.

Is Accutane 2 pills a day?

The dosage of Accutane varies depending on body weight, acne severity, and your doctor’s clinical judgment. Some patients take two lower-dose capsules daily, while others use a single higher-dose capsule. Only a licensed doctor can determine the proper dosing schedule for you. Never adjust your Accutane dosage without medical advice.

What to take instead of Accutane?

If Accutane isn’t safe or appropriate, doctors may recommend alternatives such as:

Doxycycline or Minocycline (oral antibiotics for acne)
Topical retinoids like Tretinoin

Clindamycin or Benzoyl Peroxide for topical use
These medications are also available through Your Doctors Online consultations and prescription refills.

How much vitamin A is equal to Accutane?

Accutane is derived from vitamin A, but the two are not interchangeable. The medication is a concentrated form (Isotretinoin) designed to treat severe acne at much lower, controlled doses than what raw vitamin A offers. Taking high doses of vitamin A to “mimic” Accutane is unsafe and can lead to toxicity. Get expert guidance from our doctors, and your Accutane refill will be delivered to the local or major pharmacy, whichever best suits you.

Does Accutane cause hair loss?

Some patients on Accutane experience hair thinning or shedding, but it is usually temporary and resolves after treatment. If hair loss continues, your doctor may adjust your dose or recommend alternatives such as Doxycycline or topical retinoids.

Does Accutane remove acne scars?

Accutane is highly effective at stopping new severe acne breakouts, which can prevent future scarring. However, it does not directly remove existing scars. Other treatments such as Tretinoin, chemical peels, microneedling, or laser therapy may be considered for scar reduction.

Can health technology be used for dermatology consultations?

Yes. Telehealth platforms like Your Doctors Online make it possible to manage acne treatment, request prescription refills for Accutane, or discuss alternative medications like Mili or Estarylla (for hormonal acne) through secure virtual consultations.

Can I get an acne prescription at Your Doctors Online?

Yes, connecting with an online dermatologist couldn’t be easier. You can download our app, connect with one of our reliable doctors, and get an online prescription for acne within minutes.

Can online doctors provide mental health support?

Yes, online doctors can provide support for many mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, and mood disorders. Through secure telehealth platforms like Your Doctors Online, you can connect with a licensed physician anytime, discuss your symptoms, and receive prescriptions.

How do I know if my acne is bacterial or hormonal?

If your acne is bacterial, it will appear more on your T-zone, including your chin, nose, and forehead. In the case of hormonal acne, it seems to occur more frequently on the lower face and jawline. It is better to consult our online doctor for a proper diagnosis to determine the cause of your acne and get an online prescription within 5 minutes.
