I have been on isotane 30ml now since august last year, i cant go up to the max of 40 because of my side effects but saying that i have had excellent results.
I was on it when i was 16 for 6 months but it got very expensive seeing the specialist but it is now available through govt funding.
side effects: dry lips, nose and eyes, dry skin on hands and legs, sensativity to sunlight - easily burnt
DO NOT order on the net, the doctors have to check liver function, i never have had to have a preg test nor had 20 q about it although am on the pill. If you do full preg while on isotane its pretty much recommended to abort as the baby will most proberly be born with one or more less vital organs fro example heart, or brain.
it is a great treatement, if you can put up with the length of meds which is calculated by your weight, and even if you see results you have to stay on them other wise it will come back..
hope this helps
Until your skin dries out naturally on it's own then when the Isotane wears off the spots may come back, although not as bad. Isotane tends to be more of a time giver than a cure in my opinion, but it is worth it. I have heard getting pregnant after treatment has stopped can stop the benefits due to elevated hormones.
