Get an Accutane prescription online

Yes, you need a doctor’s prescription to buy Accutane online or in person. 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, which can be sent directly to their pharmacy.

Accutane works by normalizing the shedding of skin cells (a process called keratinization). Here is what happens once you take the capsule:

1. The medication enters your bloodstream, where it signals the oil glands to shrink physically, preventing them from operating at full capacity.
   
2. As the glands shrink, they stop producing excess sebum (oil), which reduces the production of the oil by up to 90%.
   
3. With the oil supply cut off, acne-causing bacteria starve and die, naturally sanitizing the skin
4. It keeps the dead skin cells from clogging the pores, which calms the inflammation, breakouts, and pain of deep cysts.

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 physician can determine the proper dosing schedule for you. See a doctor if you need to modify your treatment plan.

If Accutane isn’t safe, doctors may recommend the following treatment options:

• Doxycycline prescription or Minocycline (oral antibiotics for acne)
• Topical retinoids like Tretinoin prescription   
• Clindamycin prescription or topical Benzoyl Peroxide

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 a lower dose than what raw vitamin A offers. Taking high doses of vitamin A to “mimic” Accutane is unsafe and can lead to toxicity. Get expert care from our doctors, and your prescription will be delivered to the local pharmacy.

Some patients taking Accutane may experience hair thinning or shedding, but this is usually temporary. If hair loss continues, your doctor may adjust your dose or recommend alternatives such as Doxycycline or topical retinoids.

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

Yes, a board-certified dermatologist can prescribe Accutane online, provided they use a platform that complies with the iPLEDGE REMS safety program. While the consultation happens via video or photo-sharing, you are still required to complete monthly blood tests and pregnancy screenings at a local laboratory before the doctor can authorize your next 30-day supply.

To determine if Accutane is the right treatment, your doctor may order a few lab tests, including:

• Liver check: A blood test to make sure your liver is strong and healthy.
  
• Cholesterol test: A fasting blood test to check the fats in your blood.
  
• Pregnancy test: For females, two negative tests are required to ensure the medication is safe to start.

To make sure your body is handling the medication safely, your doctor may order the following tests:

• Monthly blood work: Short check-ups to monitor your liver and cholesterol levels as your body adjusts.
• Serious side effect check-ins: Your doctor will ask about your mood, joint pain, and skin dryness to adjust your dose if needed.
