Is Zenatane Safe To Be Used Instead Of Accutane For Acne?
My dermatologist recommended that I undergo a 5 month treatment of accurane for acne. My insurance does not pay for this drug, but it does for a generic, zenatane. Please tell me, is Zenatane as effective as accurane and why do you think my dermatologist didn t inform me of this choice?

hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
-- zenatane and accutane both are same drugs that have different brand name and same generic, stands for isotretinoin.
-- sir, i would suggest you to discuss with your dermatologist about your insurance and coverage of drugs.
-- i am sure he will understand and prscribe the same drug, you need.
wishing you good health.
thank you.
