Summary (paraphrased)
Presented after the UK regulator introduced new monitoring requirements for isotretinoin's psychiatric and sexual side effects, this retrospective review examined 167 consecutive patients who completed isotretinoin treatment at a tertiary dermatology clinic. The primary aim was mental-health outcomes (depressive symptoms, quality of life); the secondary endpoint was the effect of isotretinoin on sexual function. It represents real-world clinic data on psychosexual side effects collected under the new regulatory monitoring regime.
Why it’s in the corpus
The largest single-clinic retrospective cohort on isotretinoin psychosexual effects found in this sweep, and a direct artifact of the 2023 MHRA monitoring requirements — captures how regulators are now forcing this data to be collected.
