[Roaccutan in the treatment of severe forms of acneiform eruption]

Roaccutan efficacy and tolerance in severe forms of acne eruption (ball-shaped and conglobate) and in acne rosacea were under study. The treatment started with a daily dose of 60 mg, then the dose was gradually reduced. The course took 8-12 weeks. Roaccutan was sufficiently effective in severe forms of acne eruption and was well tolerated by the patients. Side effects, such as lip and skin dryness, are possible in the course of therapy.
