Hi! My name is Rocio Escamilla, I start using lubiprostone (Moviprost) 10 days ago, i’m 30 years old and never had acne issues before, I stop taking it 2 days ago, as I have a severe acne on my face, neck and chest, I never had in life. In addition to that a weird thightness feeling on the left side of my chest that hadn’t had disappeared it feels like getting a cramp just in that area of my chest.
I was taking twice a day morning and night.
My doctor started me on Amitiza 3 weeks ago and now my skin is breaking out. Don’t know if it’s related or not, but I didn’t have skin issues prior to this.
I took 2 milligram pills yesterday for the first time, then last night I had a huge, juicy and painful zit! I don’t normally get this type of acne, I’m 44 years old. I suspect it’s the Amitiza. Good news, it also did what it was supposed to do this am.
I meant to say two 8 mg pills.
