roaccutane
hi
im on roaccutane 10mg once a day - 3/4weeks now. my eyes have become very dry and red and feel sore when i push on them. am also having bad headaches. is the roaccutane causing the headaches? (i know that it does cause dry eyes, but should my eyes be reddish too?)
thanks

Hi Lisa
Your eyes could be red from dryness, try something like Duratears. Please let your doctor know about the headaches - Roaccutane can cause pseudotumor cerebri, a condition caused by increased pressure of the spinal fluid in the head (it is NOT a braintumour but something like high bloodpressure in the head)
