What is Dercutane

Treating severe acne in patients who do not respond to other medicines. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Dercutane is a retinoid. It works by reducing skin oil production, changing the characteristics of the skin oil, and preventing abnormal hardening of the skin.

Important safety information:

• Dercutane may cause drowsiness or dizziness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Dercutane with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
• Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or take Dercutane for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor. Doing so will not improve your condition faster and may increase your risk for side effects.
• A sudden decrease in night vision may occur while you are taking Dercutane. Use caution when driving at night and avoid driving at night if you experience decreased night vision.
• If you wear contact lenses, you may have difficulty wearing them during and after therapy.
• Do not donate blood while taking Dercutane and for 1 month after you stop taking Dercutane.
• Do not drink alcohol while taking Dercutane.
• Worsening of acne may occur during the first part of therapy. This does not suggest failure or a need to stop the medicine.
• To prevent cracking of lips, use a lip moisturizer or balm.
• Do not have cosmetic procedures to smooth your skin, including waxing, dermabrasion, or laser procedures, while you are taking Dercutane and for at least 6 months after you stop taking it. Dercutane can increase your chance of scarring from these procedures.
• Dercutane may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Dercutane. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.
• Some patients have become depressed or developed serious mental or mood problems while taking Dercutane. Stop using Dercutane and tell your health care provider right away if you have any new, worsened, or sudden symptoms, such as feeling sad or having crying spells; feeling anxious; becoming more irritable, angry, or aggressive than usual; losing pleasure or interest in social or sports activities; sleeping too much or too little; changes in weight or appetite; feeling like you have no energy; having trouble concentrating; or having thoughts about taking your life or hurting yourself.
• Dercutane may cause decreased bone strength in some patients. Patients who play vigorous impact sports may be at increased risk of bone problems (eg, fractures). Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
• Women who may become pregnant must use 2 effective forms of birth control at least 1 month before starting therapy, during therapy, and for 1 month after stopping the medicine. Your health care provider should conduct pregnancy tests on a monthly basis while you are taking Dercutane.
• Do not use progestin-only pills or "minipills" (pills that do not contain estrogen) for birth control because they may not work as well with Dercutane. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure what type of birth control pills you are using.
• Women who use hormonal birth control should avoid the use of the herbal supplement St. John's wort because it may decrease the effectiveness of hormonal birth control.
• Diabetes patients - Dercutane may affect your blood sugar. Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine.
• Lab tests, including pregnancy tests, cholesterol and lipid levels, liver function, blood sugar levels, and white blood cell counts, may be performed while you use Dercutane. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
• Dercutane may affect normal growth in some CHILDREN. Caution is advised when using Dercutane in children; they may be more sensitive to its effects. Consult your doctor for more details.
• Dercutane should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 12 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.
• PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Do not use Dercutane if you are pregnant. It has been shown to cause serious birth defects, miscarriage, early birth, or death of the fetus. Avoid becoming pregnant while you are taking it. If you have sex at any time without using 2 forms of effective birth control, become pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or miss your menstrual period, stop using Dercutane and call your doctor right away. It is not known if Dercutane is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Dercutane and for 1 month after stopping Dercutane.
