Accutane permanent cure?

Never heard of glow but it sounds too good to be true. This is the image from their site, could it really be so affective?

lol doubt that’s real but I’m getting noticeable results for it.

Topical - i apply snap-8 and ghk cu that’s in a topical body face solution to my face before bed

Topical - I apply ahk cu and ghkcu in a hair serum solution for my beard and scalp. I then apply minoxidil topical to the same areas.

Injectable - once in the morning I take 500mcg bpc 157, 500mcg tb4, and 2.5mg ghk-cu injectable in the same shot (this is the glow combo, I also add a little kpv to the shot to help with gut help, unrelated)

3iu hgh before bed.

NAD+ 100mg 3x a week

My skin is awesome even on androgenic gear that I normally get some acne on. Sounds like a lot of peptide shots but it’s really not the bad because most of them are combined into one shot. Using a reloadable pen with a replaceable 3mL cartridge and fresh pin needles that never have to picture a rubber stopper makes it super easy

I just saw this today..testing done by PCTZone for Sotret NF which is supposed to have a much higher absorption rate. I did almost my entire accutane cycle sometime ago using Sotret NF 16mg, which makes me wonder how much under-dosed it is....

20% underdosed, by sun pharma

I’ve tried accutane - for me it works but not permenant. However GLOW peptide combo with low dose hgh has made my gear acne virtually nonexistent.
The single course of accutane I was given as a pizza faced teenager was damn sure a permanent cure. My lips chapped into hamburger then, and stay at least somewhat chapped year round since. It might have caused lifelong psychiatric conditions and triggered an autoimmune disease, but holy fuck did my skin get clear. It’s still working 35 years later. When I had my total/free test over 5000/2300, plus daily Proviron, I only got about two small neck pimples out of it, max. Isotretinoin is some witch doctor medicine, making bargains with evil spirits.
 
Had my derm appointment today, explained that i have problem with acne and that it helped me 5 years ago already(was natty back then) and would like a prescription. She asked if i work out, i said: yes. She started to tell me how i can not work out at all when on accutane. I said: ye whatever. She then asked if i take any anabolics: i said no. Im on 250mg test e cruise rn. Having bloodwork tomorrow, hit legs today. I can already imagine her reaction when the bloodwork comes back. Nothing other than liver is probably in range. LDL, HDL, lipids overall. Usually i don't lie to doctors but after her reaction to me working out i did not even want to start talking anabolics with her. Think i can forget about a prescription, ulab it is

...wat?

I know you need to stay out of the sun, and not touch pregnant women, but that's new. Sounds like it slightly increases the risk of rhabdo, and might cause some muscle/joint pain. That does not rise to the level of a concerning risk by bodybuilding standards. Though I'm not sure what does with some people.

Were you looking at standard dosing or something on the low end? The incidence of those issues is dose dependent, and at 10-20mg I'd be inclined not to even worry about it. Lower dosing (vs the traditional 0.5-1 mg/kg of body weight) appears to be the more au courant thing with dermatologists. But I'm about 2-3 removes from actual published studies with this, just read some articles and got an AI spoonfeed.

Quoth Gemini:

While there are no absolute prohibitions on exercising while taking isotretinoin (formerly marketed as Accutane), significant precautions and modifications are recommended due to the medication's side effects. The primary concerns involve musculoskeletal stress, skin fragility, and the rare but serious risk of severe muscle damage.

Musculoskeletal Effects

A common side effect of isotretinoin is muscle and joint pain (myalgia and arthralgia). This can affect various parts of the body, most notably the lower back, but also the shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles.
  • High-Impact and Strenuous Exercise: It is advisable to limit or avoid high-impact sports and strenuous workouts. Activities like heavy weightlifting, intense cardio, and contact sports can exacerbate the muscle and joint pain associated with the medication.

  • Increased Risk of Injury: Your body may not recover from exercise as it normally would. This can increase the risk of injuries such as strains and sprains. There have been reports of an increased risk of stress fractures in individuals on isotretinoin who engage in repetitive impact activities.

  • Dosage-Related Effects: The severity of muscle and joint pain is often related to the dosage of isotretinoin. Individuals on higher doses are more likely to experience these side effects.

Rhabdomyolysis

A rare but severe risk associated with isotretinoin and exercise is rhabdomyolysis. This is a condition involving the rapid breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, which releases a damaging protein called myoglobin into the bloodstream.
  • Synergistic Effect: Strenuous exercise, particularly when initiating a new or more intense regimen, can act synergistically with isotretinoin to trigger rhabdomyolysis.

  • Signs and Symptoms: Key signs include severe muscle soreness, weakness, and dark-colored (tea or cola-colored) urine. If these symptoms occur, it is critical to cease exercise and seek immediate medical attention.

  • Monitoring: Blood tests for creatine kinase (CK) can detect muscle damage. While not routinely performed on all patients, a physician might monitor CK levels in individuals who are very physically active or report significant muscle pain.
 
Ye i have been on accutane like 5 years ago for at 30mg/day for 7 months cleared my natty bacne great back then. I also been taking 20mg 2x a week for like 3 months. I don't get any sides other than dry lips at night. I won't get the presecription anyway if she sees the bloodwork results, had my last bloodwork in february when i still was on 500 test, primo and eq. But pretty sure even though i have been on 250mg for 3/4 months now, im pretty sure some of the things they check for will be out of range.

Hitting a hard workout the day before bloodwork is going to skew your liver values as well so now all your shit is going to be out of range.

Why would your LDL, HDL, etc be out of range if you are just cruising?

You need to get your health in order in general if thats the case.

Well, the good news is PCT24x7's 15% off sale runs for 2 more weeks, and accutane is cheap as chips from India. 3 months supply of Healing Pharma's 10mg or 20mg runs as low as $15 or $25 before the sale discount.

Just so I understand: your dermatologist is checking bloodwork? That's very responsible. It's been decades since I've been on Accutane and I'm pretty sure they never took labs back then.
 
@vapor77 ye i know.not sure, hope everything recovered already to acceptable ranges after my last cycle. I feel good and healthy, don't do bloodwork on a cruise if you can call 250mg a "healthy" cruise. Before, during and after cycle.

@verylargeshoes thanks, gonna order some even if i somehow get the prescription.

Get your hands on some Indian Pharma and then you can crack on accumulating the dose you need to beat it for good.

Meanwhile I'm about 2 months in, been running 200mg a day for weeks now and only 63 days from hitting 220mg/kg for 100kg. Only side I get is dry lips.

I dont know why being on gear would change things it still needs to be treated. If it does you could go private. It cost me around £1000 last time including the 3 bloodchecks before upping dose. I really wouldn’t fuck with accutane outside of doctors supervision.

This sounds absurd to me. Max dose in uk is 1mg per kg and being on 70 took dryness to whole new levels for me.

Max dose suggested is 2mg per kg. I'm just shy of 100kg.

I read the entire thread when it started, pretty much followed Ghoul's advice of just titrating up if sides were not an issue. I went up by 40mg at a time recalling that he struggled at 180mg and had to drop to 160. I got to 200 and honestly have had little issues. I'd actually say that the only other sides I experienced near the beginning, some back aches and similar but they went away ages ago.

Aquaphor alone sorts out the lips and nothing else has been problematic in the slightest. I actually wish I had started a lot sooner and I almost decided to delay the course due to the fact I started in May and was worried that summer would be an issue due to the complaints about sunburn and such.

I do think in general as well that people who have the worst experiences tend to be a little louder and more inclined to post their experiences and those who cruise through a course rarely speak up. So hopefully this shows some people respond pretty well to it.

Sorry that you had a rough experience on it though, I guess like anything just reduce dose to a manageable level and soldier your way through until it's done.

62 days until I hit 220mg/kg at 100kg.
