Nosebleeds

Dryness of the lining of the nose occasionally leads to nosebleeds.

Vaseline applied inside the lining of the nose twice a day may help prevent nosebleeds. Ocean® Saline Nasal Spray is an OTC salt water mist that may be helpful as well.

Apply pressure or pack the nose to stop a nosebleed. Go to the emergency room if you cannot stop the bleeding.

FDA precaution: Avoid supplemental vitamin A while taking Accutane. ebA* (*everything but "A") Multivitamin Supplement contains no
vitamin A.
