Drugs Cause to increase Cholesterol Levels
Atlanta, Georgia, 11/30/2007 - Department of Research Writing at Acne Clearup
reports a recent research published on Medical News Today. According to Dr. Lee T.
Zane, "Having abnormal tests results does not necessarily signal a bad medical
outcome. It\'s just lab tests, not heart attacks. Isotretinoin is undeniably the most
effective medication we have for treating severe acne. It can truly be
life-changing. We can\'t lose sight of the fact that isotretinoin is the most
important revolution in medical dermatology in the last 30 years".
And according to the research, "Accutane (isotretinoin), an anti-acne drug, carried
with it a slight risk of raised cholesterol and/or triglyceride levels. However, a
recent study carried out by scientists from the University of California, San
Francisco, has shown that the risk is much higher than had previously been thought.
The study found that 31% of patients taking Accutane ended up with high cholesterol
levels, 44% developed high triglycerides while 11% had high liver transaminase
levels (liver enzymes)".
