Sintesi
Both isotretinoin and tetracycline-class antibiotics can cause benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri). Used together, the risk of headache, visual disturbance, and papilledema may be increased, with a risk of permanent visual loss if unrecognized. The isotretinoin label advises against concomitant use.
