Will Consuming 'tufacne-20' Cause Any Birth Defects?
I'm unmarried & I'm 24 years old. My dermatologists has recommended me Tufacne -20 for treating acne on my face. But I'm confused whether I should consume those tablets or not as I read the pamphlet inside the medicine which says that people who are pregnant or may become pregnant, should not consume this medicine as there could be birth defects after consuming it. I have a question that if I consume 15 tablets as recommended by my doctor, will it create any complications in my pregnancy or any kind of birth defects after I get married.
Hi, Tufacne is Isotretinoin a drug that cause anomalies in babies , if mother takes it during pregnancy.Even application to skin,as ointment, is harmful to baby If you have no chances of getting pregnant/ getting married in next few months ,you can have it. If you are so disturbed about this side effect,You can ask doctor for alternative safer drugs.
