Hi, I have been taking (ro)accutane for just over 6 months now and have never had an issue with it. Recently (about 6 weeks ago) I also started taking Nexium due to GERD and inflammation in my esophagus (unrelated to the (ro)accutane). I had a blood test done this week and my liver enzymes are higher than normal and my dermatologist wants me to stop the (ro)accutane. Could the Necium be affecting my liver?? I dont want to stop the (ro)accutane as I still have 2 and a half months to go before my treatment is ended. I am also almost finished my dose of Nexium. Thank you.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  You are using accurate since 6 months, it has a side effect of hepatic toxicity. More over on long term usage. That is why the doctor has stopped accurate, to prevent the liver damage.  You have developed G.E.R.D. also due to the accurate only, so for that you have to use the medium till you get the relief of the G.E.R.D. Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods. Also avoid UN timely foods to avoid the gastric irritation.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
