"my son started zanatane 5 months ago after trying everything  else. this is the only thing that has cleared his skin (took almost 5 months) his dr started him off w/ 20 mg twice a day..now he is taking 60 mg twice a day.  to those complaining about side effects...his dr stated he must take this w/high fat foods...peanuts, peanut butter, bacon, etc.(2 help absorb the med)  his 1st 2 blood tests came back a little high so she did not up his dosage. he ate more fat when taking the pills (few scoops pb)&amp; now on higher dose his counts are good.  do not listen 2 scary stories about this med.  his dr said she has been prescribing for 12 yes &amp; never had a bad side effect reported (other than dry skin, lips). wish he went on this sooner (18 yrsold)"
