Acutane And Severe Stomach Pain

My 15 year old daughter is on 60mg of acutane for two months now. She recently woke in the middle of the night with severe stabbing pains in her stomach which resulted to a trip to the emergency room. After numerous tests and blood work there was no diagnosis. I am wondering if this could be a side affect of the acutane. I myself took acutane over 20 years ago and only had the common side affects of dry skin and chapped lips. After speaking to her dermatologist he tried to assure me that it was highly unlikely a side aeefect of the acutane. I am a concerned and confused as to what to believe....help

Actually, while it isn't common, it is a possible side effect of the Accutane.

It can also cause gastritis, which can cause severe stomach/abdominal pain.

Have you tried consulting her regular doctor?
