isotretinoin

[SFCC/UND]

Quick question I most likely be on this for four to six months, since I don't have sever outbreaks. What confuses me the most is, that there is a mandatory 2-week waiting period after starting isotretinoin prior to consideration and it is not valid for night flying, but if there is no side effects then what? Could you straighten this out for me thanks.

It potentially affects night vision, thus no night flying. Since there are no good practical tests for night vision in the field, it is safest to prohibit night flying with this drug.

I doubt I will fly a lot during the night time in the winter, since it is so cold and cloudy. Thanks for the info, doctors tell me it should clear up everything, but I don't know about this statement.
