Stop using Accutane and call your provider if your hearing gets worse or if you have ringing in your ears. While taking Accutane you may develop a sudden inability to see in the dark, so driving at night can be dangerous. This condition usually clears up after you stop taking Accutane, but it may be permanent. Other serious eye effects can occur. Stop taking Accutane and call your provider right away if you have any problems with your vision or dryness of the eyes that is painful or constant.
Many people taking Accutane develop high levels of cholesterol and other fats in their blood.
This can be a serious problem. Return to your provider for blood tests to check your lipids and to get any needed treatment. These problems generally go away when Accutane treatment is finished. In some people, Accutane can cause serious allergic reactions. Stop taking Accutane and get emergency care right away if you develop hives, a swollen face or mouth, or have trouble breathing.
