You're relying on Google Overview and then have the audacity to say "one google search away"?
what's "a higher dose" for you? how much are you on rn?
5mg a day, higher dose anything above 20 to be fair
i don't wanna loose my hair since I'm growing it out rn
Not true unless too high dosage
what's too high in your opinion and can hair grow effectively on 20 mg's + of isotret
20mg a day or EOD is considered a "low-dose" of isotretinoin. And studies on this suggest the only side effects are: dry skin/lips/eyes. So hair shedding should not be a problem.
my friend was on accutane an he fear mongered me not to take it if I'm growing my hair out rn because his fell out like crazy
Like I said on a low-dose the risk profil is small and manageable, and hair loss isn't a part of that.
google is not always a reliable for research
Pretty sure high dose only causes that but it’s not gonna be alot of shedding, so it’s easy to counter
Yes its a low dosage (20mg) there are low chances of hairloss but it also states here that its often temporary

I've literally not heard one proper anecdote of this happening though, outside of nocebo cases anyway (not a proper anecdote).You're relying on Google Overview and then have the audacity to say "one google search away"?
OP, hair shedding from isotretinoin is obviously not androgen-related, rather telogen effluvium. Just take minoxidil if you want to cause relative extension of the anagen phase of the hair cycle to compensate for the relative extension of the telogen phase of the hair cycle consequent to isotretinoin use.
Stop citing literature when you literally haven't read any of this shit.Yes its a low dosage (20mg) there are low chances of hairloss but it also states here that its often temporary
Comparing the frequency of isotretinoin-induced hair loss at <0.5-mg/kg/d versus ≥0.5-mg/kg/d dosing in acne patients: A systematic review - PMC
Over 1 million isotretinoin prescriptions are authorized in the United States per year. An insight into the frequency, dose dependency, timing, and reversibility of hair loss associated with isotretinoin treatment for acne vulgaris could help guide ...
dayum imma give u solution bhai, so ur saying it's very unlikely to happen right?You're relying on Google Overview and then have the audacity to say "one google search away"?

Idgaf, do what you want, I don't give advice to boost an arbitrary number on my profile.
Yes.
And you have the option to not rely on it, dumbass. The point is that it's inaccurate. What a retarded argument.its automatically on jiggaboo
i already fucking knew that accutane causing shedding at high doses but i didnt know the mechanism
One Google search away bro! Fuck off.
just help me daddy
isn't it not being mentioned a good thing i mean?View attachment 4587195
Literally the only mention of hair loss in the entire article
Good idea, let's get OP to read something completely irrelevant.
Either way its unlikely which is what I stated 3% of people experience it on low dosage which is often not even caused by the isotretinoin
No, not “either way”.
Obviously it and my reply imply that it doesn’t pertain to the content of the literature so it’s redundant to read said article. Get your head out of your ass.
Do you just argue for the sake of it? Does it make your life feel better did you even read my post and reply. Before typing shit consider using your brain
I've taken it, it's the best drug for acne. The only thing that cured it. I didn't even purge that badly. The only side effects I noticed was dry skin and dry lips. Nothing more at all, It made me less depressed because it got rid of my acne. It didn't make me lose hair, It didn't prematurely close my growth plates (I've grown 4 inches after I was done taking it).
we in the same boat g my shit is slight/nothing crazy but i heard it can become even worse. lets just pray our hair will be alright in 3-6 months
Will go to derm soon. See what’s up
