GRAND CAYMAN – More than 30 years after isotretinoin became available for the treatment of acne, what are some of the tropes that still hold true? And what misperceptions persist? In a video interview, Dr. Julie C. Harper, a private practitioner in Birmingham, Ala., shares the most up-to-date evidence for and against the drug’s use in patients with acne, including a look at the risk for depression and inflammatory bowel disease, among other tips for prescribing this drug in practice. She was interviewed at the Caribbean Dermatology Symposium provided by Global Academy for Medical Education.
