First without prescription do not take any medicine. Side effect =dry lips and mouth, minor swelling of the eyelids or lips, crusty skin, nosebleeds, upset stomach, or thinning of hair may occur. Serious side effects: mental/mood changes (e. G. Depression, aggressive or violent behavior, and in rare cases, thoughts of suicide), tingling feeling in the skin, quick/severe sunburn (sun sensitivity), back/joint/muscle pain, signs of infection (e. G. Fever, persistent sore throat), painful swallowing, peeling skin on palms/soles. So consult your doctor and then take. He can give you correct dose of isotretinoin. Take care.
