My dermatologist(dr.ranjit) only sells them in 10mg pills, but i'm taking them twice a day. that means i pay RM400 a month (argh).
so i was hoping that someone out there knows where to get 20mg Roaccutane pills which are maroon in color, as opposed to the 10mg pink ones, so i can halve my monthly bill.

thanks a bunch!

who is dr.ranjit??

try to go to Koh Skin Specialist in Petaling SS21

dr ranjit ss15?

try at a pharmacy like guardian or try a hospital pharmacy.

thanks guys! i just called a bunch of hospitals and damansara specialist centre has them for quite cheap.

all you need is a doctor perscription..

have you tried taking supplements?

Maybe there's a medical reason to take it 2x a day rather than an intense oneshot? If excess, u just pee out the drugs so its wasted. Better follow doctors prescription unless u know otherwise.

Can u giv me the No and place...How much for 1month supplement..
I took in Mediskin Sunway for RM200++ but just the small pink colour think that 10 mg only..PM me aight???Thanx dude.

What is the use of accutane?

Ance/Pimple.

yes very agree with this.. there must be reason.. higher dose once a day, more absorbed, more distributed and more eliminated & excreted at shorter time..

two dose a day is more widely distributed over the day.. somemore the 20mg dose isnt modified release formulation as well.. so better consult ur doctor first before change to 20mg once a day...

maybe for ur case, u need 10mg twice a day... but for other more severe patient, they need 20mg twice a day..

and 10mg twice a day is not equal to 20mg once a day... there are issues like absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination.. anything else, consult doctor first..

if the 20mg is cheaper than 2 x 10mg pill then u can juz chop the 20mg pill into half and consume it 2 times a day

accutane is quite dangerous for female since in can change ur hormone cause you some period problem

im looking accutane too, where can get and how much?

what about try going over to bangkok.I think they have lower price than ours because medicine sold here is much more expansive due to tax and etc.The problem would be the availability of fakes in the market over there.

However, since you are taking this medication,it is better to stick with this doctor for legible medicine(less problem to worry) and health monitoring or start looking another doctor because this drug has a lot of implications,may be not now but later in life.

i think the doctor is trying to stabilise the blood level throughout the day,which i think is a wise decision to do.

hey guys,

Damansara Sp. Hosp. is selling for rm300, the 20 mg ones. when i called last week the lady said it was rm105, blardy hell. make me happy only.
but beware, their derms. consultation price is rm80-120.
that's round the standard price, i think sunway is selling them for cheaper, round rm270.
that means i'll be spending rm1800-2400 for a whole course. !!!!

WARNING
You better get consultation from doctors before consuming ACCUTANE

because some ppl only can consumer certain amounts

and there are dire side effects

and a blood test must be taken before consumption of the pills and 6 months after (max) to compare blood .

for more information, msg me. I've been an accutane consumer since nov 2005.

btw, yes, standard 20mg pills retail at RM10 each (clinic price)

if you got contacts, pills can go as low as RM7 ea

Ask your doctor or pharmacist before you decide to halve your pills because some pills are not intended to be halved or they may lose their effect/increases the risk of toxicity

Hmm can I know the results/effects of Accutane A after u guys taking it?

I consult a skin specialist earlier, he ask recommend me to take Accutane A 20mg coz I got acne problem on my face, back shoulder and chest but kinda worried about the after effects later.

Apart from the efficacy of accutane, don't forget to look into the possible adverse effect n longterm effect especially for gals.

http://www.roche-australia.com/downloads/r....cfm?action=get

i had taken Roaccutane before too..i took the 10mg one..and there is several BRAND for the ROACCUTANE...but i felt that the most effetive brand is <ROCHE>...i had taken before another brand(forgotten the name of the brand..but i remember that the packaging is greenish color 1)..Roaccutane is quite dificult to get it in MALAYSIA,cause it is a CONTROLED DRUG in MALAYSIA.U can only get it either from government hospital or DERMATOLOGIST clinic...U WONT GET IT FROM any PHARMACY or guardian..etc......
I FELT that ROACCUTANE is the most effective drug for acne , and the most obvious side-effect is DRY LIPS...just use LIP BALM to solve that problem^^...
I had just finished my ROACCUTANE,i bought it frm my hometown's dermatologist clinic...
ANYone went to DR RANJIT before?may i know how much for the 10mg price per pack and the consultant fee as well....

if u google..accutane is a drug that derive from Vit A.

Facts:
If you take overdose of Vit A, u get your body+skin very dry. however, overdose of Vit A will kill u in no time. the effect is the same as liver toxicated.
Accutane, derived part of vit A., so it get less deadly.

1. After 1st month of Accutane, patient need to get blood sample. it test liver function test.

2. Accutant effect is stack up. a person body can only take certain amount of the accutane. In overseas, some doctor gv 50Mg per day. taking for few months. in malaysia, i believe most doctor worry about a person liver, so normally the allow low dosage but for long term. The drug effect is the same, but u get less damage towards your liver+body.

3. A person need to get ready mentally, taking accutane will make your skin very very very very dry. u might look very terrible...n suffer all kind of problems, like DRy lip, dry joint, UTI, body very tired, etc etc etc etc..

4. Stack up your supplement, EFA, multi Vit, protien needed..no drinking alcohol..but i sometime still do in lower vol. coz alcohol make u dry n flush out your mineral n vits.

lastly, dont be a cheapsket, this drug cant be sold at pharmacy. not in malaysia. it is a dangerous drug that can make kill you baby, it might kill your liver.maybe can try to get from hospital specialist.

i still had some pills 20mg with me...
its is RM9 each...who's interesting pls pm me then...
finally i noneed to take this anymore..yeah!

Just to let you know that this drug is not something that any doctor or specialist can give.
It must be and only be by a dermatologist.
There's no way that you can buy from any pharmacy, at least legally.

Added on March 2, 2010, 1:35 pmIt's a wonder drug. If all else fails, this Vit A derivative will be a miracle drug for you. But do bear in mind of a 10% relapse chance after you stop treatment.

Is accutane pill still recommended for acne treatment?
How is it different from some other antibiotics? ty

I just started to take roaccutane 2 days ago.
it is given by my dermatologist.
I am wondering when will the side effect (dry lip) start ?
after few days or weeks ?
I did not feel different on the dryness of my lips after i consumed...

Actually, I personally don't recommend this drug if your acne problem isn't too terrible. I only took it for 2 days, and I have since suffered some degree of insomnia.

On the second day of consumption, I really felt like I was literally going to die as my heart was pounding super fast and not sleeping for almost 48 hours with such high heart beat rate is no fun .....

Hey, I've got two boxes of original 10mg Roche Accutane for sale. Just got them from my derm 2 weeks ago, but before I could use them I found some old boxes from a previous round which I never used. I need to finish those first!

Price: RM180 per box.
Postage: RM7 West Msia or RM10 East Msia.

Requests only from people who are already using Accutane and know about side effects, please.

Please avoid accutane at all cost!

It is a highly dangerous drug. You need a doctor's prescription.
Please google its side effects and danger and think 100 times before buying.
I was on accutane and I had severe depression.
If you are a married woman, you should not take accutance. Accutane can cause severe, life-threatening birth defects within a few years of taking drugs. The effects can still last after a long time you have stopped the drug.
So be extremely careful.

Hi do you still have the stock? your location please..

Please be aware of accutane side effect. It may caused hair loss!

20mg is considered low-dosage so most likely whatever effects you'll have (if there's any) isn't going to be too bad so don't worry.

As far as I concern this drug have been widely studied base on 0.5mg/kg 1mg/kg of human bodies.

Let say you are 70kg you should consume around 70mg daily for it to be effective. However local dermatologist(Malaysia) are only prescribing around 20mg daily. Hence I believed its going to be pretty safe.

You should only avoid using this drug only if you plan to have babies within 1month. (Applicable to woman)

Anyone know where can i get ROACCUTANE 20mg with cheap doctor consultation?
i alrdy consult doctor but the fee is RM177 for consultation which is expensive.

now i have 1 month medicine supply.
plan to extend the medication period.

Any doctor have cheaper rate?

How much for a pill? I get mine from Ko Skin Specialist. They charge RM6 per 10mg pill. There's no consultation fees.

i get mine from BP specialist SS2 for Rm10 per 20mg pill.. Do Ko skin specialist sell 20mg pill?

But can i just buy the pill if i dont see the doctor?

Which KO skin specialist branch you go to?

They don't sell 20mg pills, if someone wants 20mg then they need to buy double 10mg pills. I went to their TTDI branch but they've moved to Kota Damansara recently.

You can get the pills by asking the counter and the nurse will just give it to you by glancing at your skin condition.

but my condition is at my body back. hahaha

Bro, do you have the address or location of the shop show at google map?

i cant find the new shop location and address at web.

Personally I haven't gone to the new shop since they moved but early this month this is the sms sent to me:

"RM0.00 Clinic DR.KO: Dear valued customer, we would like to inform that our TTDI branch will be relocating to Kota Damansara to serve u better, Sunway Nexis Retail, 1st Floor D-01-09, No.1, Jalan PJU 5/1, Kota Damansara, 47810 Petaling Jaya. We shall send an invitation of the grand opening very soon, stay tuned, do contact 0123927288 for any queries."

Are you sure i can get the medicine over the counter without any consultation and dint visit the clinics before?

Oh right... Well I don't really consider it consultation but as first-timers you do have to sign some consent letter to be prescribed accutane since it is a controlled medicine anyway. But don't worry, no consultation fees or anything. Onwards you can just drop by and get the monthly prescription through the counter and leave.

This post has been edited by internaldisputes: Mar 31 2018, 11:26 PM

i see.. no problem on the consent letter. maybe is that to safeguard the clinics as we dont consult doctor for the medication. is it ROACCUTANE medicine brand by ROHDE?

I'm not sure about the brand actually. The pills are just placed in a generic bottle.

what lol...that is dangerous though..should be in those table pack form. few tablet in a row though.

That's just packaging and marketing. Don't buy into those stuff. I use the accutane they prescribed and it works perfectly for the past 8 months. Planning to keep using for the next few months.

can u snap the photo of the accutane?

LOL sorry for taking forever to reply. So here's how it looks like:

Can you snap the medicine clearer? is there any wording like ROA 20 or ROA 10?

Sorry, crappy camera. But there is no wording like that on the tube or on the pills themselves.

oh i see.. so far my body acne doesnt reduce that much yet.. wonder if the medicine really that effective or not.

That pill works by shrinking your oil glands so that it stop producing oil that makes your skin oily which may clog your pores. So obviously the side effects resolves around dysfunctional oil glands.

If it doesn't work, it simply means that your acne isn't caused by your body oils.

Understand your acne first before find the solution.

That's the thing with accutane. You can't expect instant results. But while you wait, maybe you can apply oxy or something and fix your diet.

i really not sure my body acne is cause by what.


Mean paying expensive pill for very slow effect? hahhaaha.. usually take how long to shrink the pore?

whoa; hold on there, accutane, like Ro-accutane and the likes, are Vitamin A derivatives. Use only if indicated by a derm specialist.. no pharmacist should sell them without prescription. Any one that does, contact me, I will contact the relevant authorities.

Accutane cannot be used if u intend to get pregnant or is pregnant. If u intend to get pregnant, allow a wash out period of 6 months to be absolutely safe for the foetus.

Do not donate blood and can do so only after a month clear (check local protocols). Be careful with sun exposure etc while on it.

This is a serious meds and dont ''buy'' them; get them prescribed. Your cystic acne has to be followed up by a derm, not a mirror

my derma doc dint even told me cant donate blood. lolx.. and the fee i pay him is like rm177 for one shitty session.. hell too expensive.

Accutane is a medication and is used quite a bit but only by derm specialists as it has some unpleasant s/e and a few disastrous complications.

One also has to know that Isotretinoin was initially developed as a chemotherapy, but now branded as accutane and it tretas Acbne very very well, it is very successful; it was tainted tho' by docs who then use it even for moderate acne; it is to be used in real bad cystic acne.

in my reply above, i just want to be sure that people are responsible for themselves and not to ''buy'' these meds across the web; no one will monitor their liver of kidneys or other status. it should only be prescribed by a valid derm who knows what to avoid.

read more or look at readings from various good sources, eg(from www.consumersafety.org): '' .....
''....Common Claims in Accutane Lawsuits
Birth Defects
Hoffmann-La Roche, who first marketed the brand name drug Accutane, has been implicated in numerous lawsuits regarding birth defects. The company paid out millions to parents who were uninformed about the risk to their unborn child, and whose families suffered from the resulting defects. In 2009, the branded drug Accutane was taken off the market, in part because of lawsuit costs.

Today, pregnancy warnings are required on isotretinoin brands, and the iPledge program helps female patients avoid pregnancy during treatment for acne. However, if your child was exposed previous to 2009 via the Accutane brand, or if you were not fully informed of the birth defect risks of isotretinoin, you may be eligible for compensation and should speak with a lawyer.

A fetus exposed to isotretinoin may have IQ deficits or significant congenital deformities. Isotretinoin exposure has been connected with the following defects:.....'' bla bla bla.

As a doctor, it is my obligation to inform you.
Accutane is a superb meds, but for real bad classes of acnes, and supervised by qualified doctors. Good luck

can i ask are you a dermatologist? hahaha

no i am not; but all doctors should know about Vitamin A-derived medicines.
As I mentioned above, accutane, ro-accutane and the related meds, are all very effective especially for severe, cystic acne; it is not to be used for simple or moderate acne. it should be prescibed, then followed up, only by dermatologists. careful with online info eg dr google and professor wikipaedia. they are informative medium/platform, not treatment centres
