Accutane: dissolve in oil or oil suspension is fine?

[goulash_ragu]

Heya,

I’ve decided to start a low dose Accutane course before a blast, as is usually suggested. I do want to make sure I’m using it correctly though.

What I did was I added 1g Accutane to 50ml of olive oil and I shake it really well before drawing it up the pipette. Do I need to dissolve it too though? I’ve read in another thread that the person was heating the oil to 60C so it would make a solution instead.

I’m using oil because Accutane needs some sorta fat to get through the stomach wall, so maybe it does need to be dissolved…

Thanks!

Cap it or better buy pharma stuff because Accutane lose potency fast.

I know it is degraded quickly by moisture and UV light, so I’m taking precautions to prevent both.

@janoshik maybe you can educate me on the topic?

Well, even the raw powders of isotretinoin that I test are oft of questionable quality, so I would opt out for pharmaceutial products when possible.

With vile stuff, such as accutane, I'd try to get it proper prescribed so I'd get all the necessary bloods etc. Accutane is all fun, games and chapped lips, until you start shitting blood.

No one is gonna prescribe a 40 yo Accutane in the US, they’ll just tell me to stop testosterone lol.
