accutane?

What are the downsides of Accutane?

My doctor suggested that I get some tests done and start a course of Accutane for 9 months or longer.
What are the disadvantages and side effects of Accutane?
Will my growth plates close, will my growth slow down, and will my final height be shorter?

I am currently 17 years old.

The only side effects will be dry skin/lips and a small chance to damage your liver. There is no way it could close your growth plates or make you shorter.

severe dryness of the lips, skin, and eyes, along with nosebleeds and muscle/joint aches. Serious, though less common, risks include severe birth defects, high liver enzymes, high cholesterol, and potential mental health changes.

Take the Accutane. If you have bad acne, it'll change your life. Do low dose (10-20mg a day)
