Brief Summary

Isotretinoin (ISO) has been used in the treatment of patients with severe acne vulgaris (AV) that is resistant to standard therapy with systemic antibiotics and topical agents, over the last few decades. There are various side effects of ISO in the skeletal system. This study investigate the relationship between ISO-induced musculoskeletal adverse effects and serum 25 hydroxy (OH) vitamin D levels in patients with acne vulgaris.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Musculoskeletal adverse effects in isotretinoin receiving patients

    Locomotor system examination of the participants will perform by the same clinician.The participants were assessed in aspect of musculoskeletal symptoms such as arthralgia, low back pain, calcification of tendon and ligaments, polyneuropathy, hyperostoses of the spine (DISH syndrome), myalgia, cramps and sacroiliitis

    2 days

  • Serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D level

    serum vitamin d levels will measure in two groups.

    7 days
