Where can i got isotretinoin(accutane) without a prescription in the uk
 
Im from UK. I got isotretenoin prescribed, probably best to get it prescribed if you've got some what moderate acne. I told the doctor that it hurts when i sleep or sit down (acne on my back). And also i get conscious about it when i go outside and it makes me feel bad when people point it out. They will probably start you on antibiotics, i was on it. Then i told them it didnt help much, they got me on accutane.
Be careful when you are on oral meds for acne bcs i got hyperpigmentation since i didnt use sunblock while on it and now there is a dark patch on my skin

i went to the dermatologist today and i specifically asked for accutane and the prick was like i know more than u do so im putting you on antibiotics but ik this shit won’t work so is there even a point taking it or do i wait like a month and pretend i took it and then ask for it bc my skin isnt even bad ive just got redness and a couple spots around my chin

take it, it will work a bit. But when you are done, still complain. Dont insist on accutane otherwise they feel like you are trying to get to abuse it. And taking it will fuck up ur health, you need blood tests once a month while on it and they monitor u. Before getting prescribed they take ur bloods to see ur liver enzymes and other stuff. If your acne aint that bad, stay on antibiotics. If it doesnt work they will prescribe you stronger stuff, But at the end it will go sooner or later if you keep up ur skin hygiene

for the blood tests do they do everything or just for accutane based side effects because i’m also hopping on hgh and test e later down the line so it would skip me taking tests for them if it comes with the ones they do for accutane

This is what GPT said to me:

Yes — both HGH and testosterone enanthate (test-E) can alter several of the same blood tests that are monitored during isotretinoin treatment. That matters because it can confuse interpretation of results or increase risk when combined.

Below is a clear breakdown of which measurements are affected and how.


1. Liver Function Tests (ALT, AST)

Affected by: Testosterone (more than HGH)

  • Test-E can raise ALT and AST, especially at supraphysiologic doses or with long-term use.
  • Isotretinoin can also raise liver enzymes.
  • Combined effect: additive liver stress → higher chance of abnormal LFTs.
🔴 This is one of the main concerns when combining them.


2. Lipid Profile (Triglycerides, Cholesterol)

Affected by: Both, but especially testosterone

Testosterone:​

  • HDL (good cholesterol)
  • LDL
  • Can worsen overall lipid ratio

Isotretinoin:​

  • Commonly ↑ triglycerides
  • Can ↑ total cholesterol

HGH:​

  • Often neutral or mildly beneficial for lipids, but does not reliably protect against testosterone or isotretinoin effects
🔴 Triglycerides + low HDL is a known red flag combo doctors watch closely.


3. Full Blood Count (FBC / CBC)

Affected by: Testosterone

  • Haemoglobin
  • Haematocrit
  • Red blood cell count
This is expected with testosterone but:

  • Can push haematocrit into unsafe ranges
  • Not caused by isotretinoin, so it stands out on bloods
⚠️ High haematocrit increases clot and blood-pressure risk.


4. Blood Glucose / Insulin Sensitivity

Affected by: HGH (more than testosterone)

  • HGH can ↑ fasting glucose
  • Can worsen insulin resistance
  • Testosterone may mildly improve or worsen glucose depending on dose and individual response
Not always checked routinely, but often added if abnormalities appear.


5. Creatine Kinase (CK)

Affected by: Testosterone + training

  • Testosterone + intense training can elevate CK
  • Isotretinoin can cause muscle aches → CK may be checked if symptoms appear

6. Why doctors care (UK context)

If you were on 70 mg/day isotretinoin, that’s a high dose, so clinicians are especially alert to:

  • Liver enzymes
  • Triglycerides
  • Unexpected blood count changes
If they didn’t know about test-E or HGH, abnormal results could be:

  • Attributed incorrectly to isotretinoin
  • Lead to dose reduction or stopping treatment
  • Or miss a real combined-risk issue

Bottom line​

Yes — testosterone enanthate definitely alters key isotretinoin monitoring labs.
HGH can too, mainly glucose-related and indirectly via training/recovery.

For a month or a bit. When u take test ur gonna get way worse acne. and your chances of getting isotretenoin prescribed are way less since ur liver will be fucked up

my dad scheduled an apppointment for 3 months away which is when the guy told us to and said that’s when the antibiotics will be finsihed so i still say it’s not working after a month

Good, make sure you have good amount of sunblock on u when u get out since i got hyper pigmentation when i was on my antibiotics for skin, it fucked me up bad. All because your skin is more sensitive when on any acne meds
