Abstrakt: A study published in the International Journal of Dermatology found no apparent link between the use of isotretinoin, a medication for severe acne, and adverse male sexual health outcomes. The study analyzed data from a large healthcare network in the United States and used a cohort study design. The findings suggest that isotretinoin does not pose a significant risk to male sexual health. However, the study had limitations and further research is needed to evaluate sexual health outcomes in female patients. This study provides reassuring data for clinicians and patients.
