Re: People's Know it all Attitude

[Guest guest]

I am in total agreement that people should be able to state what has helped

them without being attacked. For example, Accutane has undergone many

" attacks " , but it is the best treatment that I have undergone so far! I have

talked to others on here too that it has helped immensely. It may work for

some and not for others. We are all different...just like many other

remedies that have been tried. I LOVE to hear ALL ideas about what has

worked for people!!! Keep them coming in--no matter what some may say. We

are ALL still looking for a cure and for some relief; otherwise, we wouldn't

be on here!

Speaking of Accutane---quick question---what is the difference between

Roaccutane and Accutane? I have seen both names on here, and I was wondering

if they are the same product. Thanks...to everyone!!!!

Roaccutane is exactly the same formulation as accutane, with a

different name, marketed to countried outside of the USA and Canada.

Only Roaccutane is, by some reports in some countries, available in 5

mg strenghts.
